Vijayawada, June 16: Eid al-Fitr is "the feast of the breaking of the fast" that begins when the moon rises on the final day of Ramadan.
About 1.6 billion Muslims across the world marked the festival this year.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday joined Muslims in offering Eid-ul-Fitr prayers.
Wearing a skull cap, he stood with Muslims to offer Eid 'namaz' at Municipal Grounds in Vijayawada.
He greeted Muslim leaders and commoners on the occasion of Eid, which marks culmination of holy month of Ramadan.
Naidu said he prayed to the Almighty Allah for all help to the state and for the prosperity and happiness of the people.
He said the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government was giving top priority to maintaining communal harmony in the state. He recalled that TDP was the first party to oppose triple talaq bill.
