Sun Mar 30 23:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Eid ul-Fitr Celebrated Across Andhra Pradesh
**Rajamahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh:** Muslims in Andhra Pradesh celebrated the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid ul-Fitr on Monday, March 31, 2025. Following the sighting of the new moon on Sunday evening, preparations for Eid prayers were underway throughout the state. Mosques and Eidgahs were decked out to accommodate large crowds.
The month of Ramadan involved a strict month-long fast (Roza), special Taraweeh prayers, and increased charitable giving. The faithful observed a rigorous fast from sunrise to sunset, culminating in the joyous celebration of Eid.
The religious holiday also includes the observance of Zakat (charity) and Fitra (a donation of food or money to the poor). Religious leaders recommended a Fitra donation of approximately ₹150 per person this year.
In Rajamahendravaram, preparations for Eid prayers were completed in all mosques, with the main prayer taking place at the Eidgah in Rajendranagar. The Collector, Prashanthi, extended greetings to the citizens on the occasion and announced the cancellation of PGARS (presumably a government program) in observance of the public holiday.
