A view of Bandra railway station on the occasion of Eid

Huge crowd of people offer namaz at the Bandra railway station on this significant day

Eid ul-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of Shawwal, the 10th month of the Islamic lunar calendar

The festival is of great significance due to the moon sighting which has been part of Islamic culture for a long time

It is believed that Prophet Muhammad used to wait for news of sightings of the crescent moon as it indicated the beginning of a new month

The sighting of the crescent moon marked the end of Ramzan on Wednesday, and the beginning of Eid ul-Fitr, one of the most significant festivals in the Islamic calendar
