Shia Community in Madhya Pradesh to Observe Muted Eid Following Khamenei's Death

Shia families in Madhya Pradesh plan a subdued Eid al-Fitr this year to mourn the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed in a US-Israel strike announced on March 1. Approximately 4,000 Shia families across several districts will forgo traditional celebrations and new clothes, opting instead for prayer without protests. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and is typically celebrated with communal prayers, family visits, and gift-giving.
