IMAGES – When the Muslim world celebrates Eid el-Fitr

Around the world, Muslims gathered from dawn to dusk to celebrate Eid al-Fitr and mark the end of Ramadan. Millions of people with family, friends or strangers, in the streets and in mosques, gathered for the first day of the festivities to pray or simply celebrate this holy day of the Muslim calendar. Kawa invites you to a tour of the Muslim world in pictures of this day of celebration and sharing:

In India, Muslims gathered by thousands at the Jama Masjid Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque of Delhi, one of the largest in India. It can accommodate up to 25,000 people!

 

 

The streets of Cairo were crowded on this holy day! The crowds, spread out as far as the eye could see, seemed to fill all the space that the city allows.
