Though the grounds have previously held various smaller Eid congregations, this is the first large congregation to attend Eid prayers at the location since renovations. If the number attending Eid prayers was confirmed, it would surpass the congregation at Sholakia as Bangladesh’s largest Eid congregation. Currently the largest Eid prayer congregation in Bangladesh is considered to be the one held at Kishoreganj’s Sholakia. Abdullah, who attended the Dinajpur prayers this year and had previously attended the congregation in Sholakia told bdnews24.com that he believed the crowd in Dinajpur was much larger. It would be a great honour to draw the largest Eid congregation in the country, Imam Moulana Shamsul Alam Kashemi said.
