Hyderabad: Id ul Fitr Celebrations Highlight Unity in City

Hyderabad: Id ul Fitr once again reflected the city’s spirit of communal harmony, with people across faiths greeting each other warmly. Sikhs, Hindus, Christians and Muslims exchanged hugs and wished “Id Mubarak.”

At Champapet, Hindu representative Subhramanyam spoke of peace and unity, while Sikh leader Satvinder Singh Bagga highlighted Guru Nanak’s teachings of oneness. Rev. Varaprasad Gosala of Andhra Christian Theological College emphasised Christ’s message of love and harmony. The gathering, hosted by Muslims, drew wide appreciation.

Tanveer Ahmad, president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, said: “The city has always taught us communal harmony. The crux of today’s event is we are one as humans first.” Buddhist representative Subeer Bataya underlined Buddha’s message of ahimsa.

Across Hyderabad, Id prayers were held at major Eidgahs, including Mir Alam, Bilali and Tipu Khan. Families celebrated with sheer qurma, shared among neighbours, and visited elders to seek blessings. The pleasant weather added to the festive spirit.
