Ladakh is celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr on Saturday with the moon being sighted in Kargil.

"The moon was sighted in Kargil yesterday so we are celebrating Eid in Ladakh today," a local spoke to .

Unlike any other Eid in the cold desert, people would be offering their prayers at home. The streets and markets lack the hubbub of Ladakhis' usual festivities.
