Following the Eid prayers, a colorful procession will be brought out from the Eidgah premises. The procession will pass through the main road of Agargaon, cross Khamarbari intersection, and conclude in front of the South Plaza of the National Parliament Building on Manik Mia Avenue. After the procession, cultural programmes will be organised on Manik Mia Avenue.
There will also be an arrangement of a variety of traditional food items for Eid.
Representatives from different religions and ethnic communities will take part in the Eid procession. More than a hundred band parties, horse-drawn carriages, and bullock carts will join the procession.
The procession will be further enlivened with colourful banners and festoons. In addition, puppet shows based on the history of the Mughal and Sultanate periods will be staged.
