Mangalore: There are a dozen mosques in Mangalore in every hook and corner of Bunder and city areas where Muslims live. Wednesday (Aug 31) is Id-Ul-Fitr day, when the holy month of fasting and cleansing the minds of local Muslims ends and erupts in a joy of brotherhood, compassion and charity to the poor.
Hundreds of well dressed Muslims reach Tippu’s Idgah Prayer Hall on Light-House hill at 8AM for Namaz guided by city Qazi Twaka Ahmed Musliyar who also makes a Sermon on the significance of Id-e-Milad. Rains did catch the throngs who exchanged greetings and sweets.
