Mangaluru : The Dakshina Kannada Qazi, Al-Haj Twaka Ahmed Musliyar and Udupi Qazi, Zainul Ulama Al Haj Abdul Hameed Musliyar have informed that Eid will be celebrated on May 13 in twin districts.

Generally, the Islamic community in India celebrates the festival a day later than in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, Eid ul-Fitr will be celebrated on Thursday, May 13 in India.
