Maldives lights up for Eid celebration

The entire nation is aglow with Eid al-Fitr celebrations, in line with President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu's commitment to honour Islamic festivities with vibrant colours and joyous spirit.

President Muizzu inaugurated 'Eid Ali', an initiative aimed at illuminating islands across the Maldives with festive lights, representing Islamic symbols.

Additionally, the government resolved to install festive lighting in all cities and atoll administrative capitals across the Maldives, further enhancing the spirit of celebration. Concurrently, islands including Kulhudhuffushi City, Fuvahmulah City, Dhidhdhoo City, Addu City and as well as Male' City has been re-illuminated, rejuvenating the celebratory atmosphere.

Moreover, President Muizzu ceremonially reopened the "Jumhooree Favvaaraa", a water fountain at Republic Square during the 'Eid Ali' ceremony. This was initially established following the 50th anniversary of Maldivian independence in 2015.

Furthermore, this marks the first instance in recent history where the government has opted to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with vibrant colours and lights, prompting a wide spread of gratitude from people across the nation.

Male' City Council has also been actively working to celebrate Eid al-Fitr joyously, with plans to initiate several cultural activities with relevant groups.
