Mosques across the country were decorated with lights as special prayers were held. Maulana Abdul Khabeer led special prayers at the Badshahi Mosque. People worshipped the entire night and observed fast the next day. People also made their way to graveyards as part of a custom in which people visited graves of loved ones and prayed for the departed.
