While Eid will be celebrated in the rest of the country on Monday, the festive buzz was missing as markets and other public places remained deserted.

Celebrations on Eid-ul-Fitr were subdued in Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday with no major congregational prayers and community feasts due to the corona lockdown.

While Eid will be celebrated in the rest of the country on Monday, the festive buzz was missing as markets and other public places remained deserted, whether it was in Lucknow, Kolkata or the old Delhi areas as people mostly remained indoors.

Major mosques and idghas which see tens of thousands of people offering namaz on Eid and then embracing each other remained mostly empty perhaps for the first time on the festival as the government has prohibited all kinds of religious gatherings to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

In his message, President Ram Nath Kovind asked citizens to reaffirm their belief "in sharing with and caring for the most vulnerable sections of society".
