"Thousands of Muslims gathered at Bangalore's Masjid-e-Khadria mosque on Saturday, to celebrate Eid al-Fitr marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Footage shows large crowds of worshipers performing prayers as well as warmly greeting each other after namaz. Worshipper Sayeed Ijaz said the occasion was marked by hope for unity during a period of global uncertainty. "I believe this Eid should bring happiness and prosperity to all our nation. By this, there should be unity among all the communities," he said. Ijaz also expressed concern over the US President Donald Trump's policies, causing global tensions and economic pressures. "What the [US President Donald] Trump is doing, I believe is not right. So, he wants to overpower the economy of the whole world; he wants to control. I believe that we should not fall into this trap as prey, and we should be aware of those things," worshiper concluded. Another attendee, Abdul Kareem Khan, stressed the importance of dialogue over conflict. "We are not going to achieve anything by fighting," he said. "It's better to sit together, talk and find solutions." He added that the day was also a time to reflect on peace and coexistence, "I pray that everyone lives well and that there is brotherhood among all." Among those attending was Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who reportedly highlighted unity and communal harmony in a diverse society. Messages of goodwill were also shared by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, emphasising the importance of social cohesion. Eid Al-Fitr occurs on the first day of the tenth month of Shawwal in the Islamic lunar calendar, beginning with the rise of the crescent moon and ending a month-long period of dawn-to-dusk fasting during Ramadan."
