Muslims in Goa celebrated Eid al-Fitr (also known as Eid ul-Fitr), marking the end of a month of fasting.
The day also means the start of a new spiritual journey and the beginning of a new Islamic year.
Elders and children gathered at the Safa Masjid in Ponda to offer namaz.
Eid prayers are a way to show gratitude to Allah for all the blessings bestowed.
Muslims greet each other by saying 'Eid Mubarak'.
On Eid, Muslims gather as a collective duty to pay obeisance to Prophet Muhammad.
The Safa Masjid in Ponda offers a perfect backdrop for namaz in a heritage precinct.
