Why timings differ
Eid namaz is performed shortly after sunrise. Cities in eastern India, such as Kolkata and Patna, typically have earlier prayer timings, while northern regions like Srinagar see slightly later schedules. Local mosque committees finalise the timing to ensure smooth coordination for large gatherings.
Eid-ul-Fitr celebrates spiritual purification and gratitude following Ramadan. Devotees perform Zakat al-Fitr, share meals with family and neighbours, exchange sweets, and extend Eid Mubarak greetings to friends and loved ones. The festival highlights community unity, charity, and faith across India.
