Web Desk July 19, 2015

After mesmerising the world with pictures and videos of the holy city of Makkah during Laylatul Qadr or Night of Power, Snapchat has captured people celebrating Eidul Fitr in Jakarta, Dubai and Riyadh in its live feed.

Eidul Fitr marks the culmination of the holy month of Ramazan during which Muslims abstain from eating and during from dawn to dusk.

The biggest Muslim festival, Snapchat was at the centre of all the festivities. From snaps of people brushing their teeth and getting ready on Eid morning to Eid prayers and the delicacies on elaborate tables -- there was nothing that the app missed out on.

Here are some of the snaps, in case you missed the story:
