The annual mass congregation for Eid al-Fitr prayers in capital city Malé has been held this year as well at the Maafannu stadium.
While residents of administrative-mainland Malé gathered at the stadium, residents of suburban extension Vilimalé congregated at their football stadium.
Residents of Hulhumalé, the capital city’s fast developing urban extension, had gathered at the central park.
Mass congregations have been held at the stadium for years. While mass congregation for Eid al-Fitr prayers has been customary around the world, Maldives first began holding them in 2012.
