Eid al-Adha prayers at Delhi's Jama Masjid Saturday morning were quieter than in previous years as fewer people turned up at the mosque owing to Covid-19.
The mosque had earlier reopened on 8 June after a gap of over two months in Unlock 1.0. However, it was later shut as coronavirus cases spiked in the national capital.
The Eid, which comes at the end of the 30-day Ramzan month, is expected to be first-of-its-kind with adherence to norms of social distancing in the wake of the Covid pandemic.
