Many Muslims across Bangladesh celebrated Eid-ul-Azha on Wednesday, aligning with Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries. Congregational prayers were held in various districts including Chattogram, Dinajpur, Satkhira, Jamalpur, Chapainawabganj, Moulvibazar, Narayanganj, Chandpur, Faridpur, Naogaon, and others. In Chattogram, around 60 villages observed the festival, with the main congregation at Mirzakhil Darbar Sharif led by Dr. Maulana Muhammad Maksudur Rahman. Similar prayers and sacrifices took place in Dinajpur, Satkhira, and Jamalpur, where thousands joined in religious observance.

In Dinajpur, prayers were held in six upazilas, while in Satkhira, residents of 25 villages participated in early Eid prayers. Jamalpur saw congregations in at least 20 villages across three upazilas. Other districts such as Chapainawabganj, Moulvibazar, and Chandpur also reported widespread participation, with local religious leaders leading prayers and communities performing animal sacrifices.

The celebrations reflected a long-standing tradition among followers of certain religious groups in Bangladesh who observe Eid based on Saudi Arabia’s moon sighting and calendar.
