"There is an eerie silence as one enters the lane leading up to Shahi Jama Masjid in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal city. Just a day before, the area was in shambles as local Muslims, protesting against a court-ordered survey of the mosque and a Hindutva mob shouting genocidal slogans, were fired upon by the Uttar Pradesh Police, killing five people."

On Holi, which coincides with the holy month of Ramzan, authorities in Uttar Pradesh have covered 189 mosques in at least four districts with tarpaulin to prevent them from attacks by Hindutva mobs.

Prominent Muslim clerics have been asked to postpone Friday prayers to after 2 PM in 18 districts to avoid any overlap with celebrations, news reports said.

Security has been tightened, with UP DGP Prashant Kumar directing officials to deploy additional police and paramilitary forces in sensitive areas. In Bareilly, 109 mosques were covered, with 5,000 security personnel deployed along the Ram Barat route. In Shahjahanpur, 67 mosques were covered ahead of the Laat Saheb Juloos, a unique Holi tradition. Sambhal, marked as “hyper-sensitive” due to ongoing litigation over the Shahi Jama Masjid, has seen round-the-clock monitoring by paramilitary forces, with mosque management welcoming the precautionary measures.

Authorities have installed CCTV cameras, erected barricades, and used drones for surveillance in multiple districts, including Mathura, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Meerut, and Muzaffarnagar. Preventive action has been taken against 2,423 individuals, and officers have been instructed to ensure communal harmony.

Happy Eid-ul-Fitr To All Muslim Ummah Around The Globe!

See How Muslims Celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr Around The World

From Beachside Prayers In Senegal To Colorful Festivals In Pakistan, These Pictures Show The Many Ways That Muslims Observe The End of The Holy Month of Ramadan.

As the Islamic holy month of Ramadan comes to a close, Muslims around the world are preparing for a celebration filled with prayer, feasts, and community. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and is expected to be observed on March 30 or March 31 this year, depending on the sighting of the moon.

Beginning and ending with the new moon, Ramadan falls on the ninth month of the Arabic lunar calendar. It is believed by Muslims to be when the first verses of the Koran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad more than a millennium ago. From sunrise to sunset, Muslims abstain from food, drink, and vices like gossip and lying. Not only is it meant to be a period of self-reflection, but to serve as a reminder to be charitable to the less fortunate.

Eid al-Fitr, Arabic for “festival of breaking fast," is celebrated over three days at the end of Ramadan through prayer, feasts, parades, gifts, and charitable giving. Here's a look at how it is celebrated around the world.

China's constitution provides for Islam as one of five "approved" religions in the officially atheist country, although the government enforces severe limits. Worship is permitted only at state-sanctioned mosques and proselytizing in public is illegal. During Ramadan, Hui Muslims fast from dawn until dusk. Photograph By Kevin Frayer, Getty Images

A Glimpse into the Spiritual and Cultural Richness of Jammu and Kashmir

Kashmir, often referred to as "Paradise on Earth," is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, serene lakes, and snow-capped mountains. Beyond its natural beauty, Kashmir is also a land rich in religious and cultural heritage. The region is home to diverse religious places in Kashmir and there are vibrant festivals in Jammu and Kashmir that reflect its historical and spiritual significance.

Religious Places in Kashmir

1. Shankaracharya Temple: Perched on the Shankaracharya Hill, the Shankaracharya Temple is one of the oldest and most revered Hindu shrines in the Kashmir Valley. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this ancient temple is believed to have been visited by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century. The temple offers a panoramic view of Srinagar and the Dal Lake, making it a spiritual and visual treat for visitors.

2. Hazratbal Shrine: Located on the northern shores of the Dal Lake, the Hazratbal Shrine is the holiest Muslim shrine in Kashmir. It houses a relic believed to be a hair of the Prophet Muhammad. The shrine's pristine white marble structure and its serene surroundings attract devotees and tourists alike. The annual celebrations during the festivals of Eid and Milad-un-Nabi see a significant influx of pilgrims.

3. Amarnath Cave Temple: The Amarnath Cave Temple is one of the most important Hindu pilgrimage sites, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Situated at an altitude of 3,888 meters, the temple is famous for the naturally occurring ice Shiva Lingam. The annual Amarnath Yatra, which takes place in the summer months, draws thousands of devotees who undertake a challenging trek to pay their respects.

4. Jama Masjid: Situated in the heart of Srinagar’s old city, the Jama Masjid is a stunning example of Indo-Saracenic architecture. Built in 1394 by Sultan Sikandar, it features 378 wooden pillars and an expansive courtyard. The mosque is not only a place of worship but also a center for social and cultural gatherings.

5. Kheer Bhawani Temple: Located in the village of Tulmulla, about 25 kilometers from Srinagar, the Kheer Bhawani Temple is dedicated to Goddess Ragnya Devi. The temple is named after the rice pudding (kheer) that is offered to the goddess by devotees. The annual festival of Mela Kheer Bhawani, held on the occasion of Zyestha Ashtami, sees thousands of devotees thronging the temple.

Festivals in Kashmir

1. Navroz: Navroz, the Persian New Year, is widely celebrated by the Shia Muslim community in Kashmir. It marks the beginning of the spring season and is a time for family gatherings, feasting, and prayers. Traditional foods, such as lamb dishes and sweets, are prepared, and homes are decorated to welcome the new year.

2. Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha: Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, while Eid-ul-Adha commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. Both festivals are celebrated with great fervor in Kashmir. Special prayers are held in mosques, and families come together to share festive meals and distribute alms to the needy.

3. Maha Shivaratri (Herath): Maha Shivaratri, locally known as Herath, is a significant festival for Kashmiri Pandits. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and is celebrated with night-long vigils, prayers, and the offering of walnuts as a symbol of fertility. Special dishes, such as fish and rice, are prepared for the occasion.

4. Baisakhi: Baisakhi, primarily a harvest festival, is celebrated with enthusiasm by the Sikh community in Kashmir. It also marks the Punjabi New Year and the formation of the Khalsa in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh. The festival involves prayers, kirtans (devotional songs), and community feasts known as langars.

5. Hemis Festival: The Hemis Festival, held in the Hemis Monastery in Ladakh (part of the greater Kashmir region), is a vibrant celebration dedicated to Lord Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche). The festival features colorful masked dances, traditional music, and rituals performed by the monks. It is one of the most significant Buddhist festivals in the region.

6. Tulip Festival: While not a religious festival, the Tulip Festival in Srinagar has become a major cultural event. Held in April, the festival showcases the stunning bloom of tulips at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, Asia's largest tulip garden. The event attracts tourists from across the globe and highlights Kashmir’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.

Conclusion

Kashmir’s religious places and festivals are a testament to its rich and diverse cultural tapestry. These sacred sites and celebrations not only provide spiritual solace to the faithful but also offer a glimpse into the region’s historical and cultural richness. Visiting these places and participating in the festivals provides an enriching experience that deepens one’s understanding of Kashmir’s unique heritage.
