Muslims pray for rains in drought-affected areas on Eid

Muslims across Bihar offered prayers on Eid and sought divine blessings for rains in the drought-affected areas of the state on Friday.

In Patna, thousands of people offered prayers at the Gandhi Maidan and different mosques despite light drizzle. The festival was also celebrated in Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, Munger and other parts of the state.

Non-Muslims greeted Muslims and partook of special sweet dishes. Security was beefed up in the Muslim-dominated areas. There was no report of any untoward incident.
