Eid prayers at the Badshahi mosque. PHOTO: SHAFIQ MALIK/EXPRESS
Reach the mosque early in the morning for Eid prayers.
Get searched, walk through scanners to enter the mosque.
Observe the silence of prayers amid a crowd of hundreds.
Feel at peace - big and small at the same time.
Pray alongside the women, who have their own section in the mosque.
Keep a watch out for the adults.
Examine mom's purse while she is busy.
Exchange a quick look and smile with a friend.
Say your dua alongside the family.
Wish for a peaceful Eid.
Feel a sense of quiet communion.
Catch a photographer taking a photo of you!
Exchange hugs and wish everyone "Eid mubarak".
Pose for the camera!
Show off your Eid best.
Hug a friend - make a new friend!
Get out of the mosque and consider buying a cheesy balloon for the house.
Enjoy each moment of the day so far.
Grab a friend or family member and head over to the slaughter.
Hang out and watch the public sacrifice till late afternoon.
