In Srinagar, a large number of devotees gathered at mohalla mosques to offer prayers, amid tight security.
Stating that Eid prayers concluded peacefully in the region, Kashmir Zone Police tweeted, "Eid prayers concluded peacefully in various parts of the valley. No untoward incident reported so far."
