Eid-Ul-Fitr Marked In Nepal

A Nepali Muslim attends mass Namaz on the day of Eid-Ul-Fitr at a mosque in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 21, 2026. Eid-Ul-Fitr is celebrated after a month of fasting, known as Roza, and involves prayer rituals. The festival includes traditions such as Iftar and collective prayers, which promote unity and coexistence. Charity and assistance are emphasized, fostering compassion towards those in need. The greeting 'Chand Mubarak' or 'Eid Mubarak' is exchanged upon sighting the Eid moon, symbolizing harmony and brotherhood. The festival involves wearing new clothes, offering prayers, and exchanging greetings to strengthen social bonds. Eid-ul-Fitr, meaning ''the feast of the breaking of the fast,'' marks the end of fasting, with Muslims enjoying a small breakfast before morning prayers and visiting friends and relatives for a feast. Gifts, particularly clothes, are commonly exchanged. The celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr dates back to 624 CE, following a victory in battle by the Prophet Mohammed. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
