In Kolkata, the Eid prayers were held at the Brigade Parade Ground instead of the traditional Red Road. At the historic Nakhoda Mosque, prayers were conducted in two sessions, ensuring roads remained clear. The state government has strictly enforced an old Calcutta High Court directive, urging peace and discipline during the festivities.

Millions gathered at more than five thousand mosques and prayer grounds in Murshidabad. In Malda, the state’s second-largest congregation took place at Sujapur’s Noy Mouja Eidgah. Large gatherings were also reported in Nadia, North 24 Parganas, and South 24 Parganas, with women joining prayers in many locations. The day is marked by exchanging greetings, sharing meals, and celebrating togetherness
