People dressed in crisp white kurta-pajamas flocked to mosques in the morning, offering namaaz. After prayers, they were seen distributing the traditional 'fitra', a special token, among the poor; distributing 'fitra' is mandatory during Eid ul-Fitr.

The true essence of Eid lies in spreading joy and good cheer, so we should ensure that on this day everyone gets to eat well, celebrate the occasion and be happy.

Thousands of Muslims celebrated Eid on Wednesday with joy and religious fervour across Pakistan.
