Baa Atoll Kihaadhoo commemorates Eid in colorful traditions

The ongoing Eid celebrations in atolls of the Maldives have created a joyful vibe with colorful renditions of ancestral games. The small island of Kihaadhoo, belonging to Baa Atoll, one of the most naturally diverse atolls in the island nation, is up in the list of festive islands this year. Though the island has a small population, the community showed vigor in their festivities, with both men and women equally involved.

A standout event carried out on the first day of Eid was the feast tables laid out with homemade local food in street corners. The islanders and visitors hop from one table to the other, plate in hand, trying out dishes cooked from various households.
