By the time the Eid prayer began, the square was almost full. According to eyewitnesses, more than 30 thousand people attended the festive prayer. Believers stood shoulder to shoulder, filling not only the central part of the square but also the surrounding streets. The atmosphere remained calm and focused, without any rush.
Among those present was President Sadyr Japarov, who also participated in the prayer alongside the other believers.
With the first words of the prayer, silence descended upon the square. Even in the dense crowd, order was maintained: participants kept their rows and space between themselves.
Police officers and medical staff monitored the perimeter, ensuring the safety of the event. Despite the heightened measures, no intervention was needed — everything went smoothly without incidents.
After the Eid prayer concluded, the square filled with congratulations: people exchanged kind words and gradually dispersed to their homes.
The Eid prayer in Bishkek, as before, attracts thousands of believers, remaining one of the largest religious events in the country.
