Majority of the Muslims in Kenya are celebrating Eid al Fitr today, marking the official end of the fasting month of Ramadhan.
Thousands of Muslims gathered in various open fields across the country in the morning hours to conduct special prayers to kick off the celebrations.
Eid is not on a fixed date, but is dependent on the sighting of a new moon - marking the end of Ramadan and the start of the Islamic month Shawwal.
Local sightings of the moon can differ, which is why there can be discrepancies between the days different countries start and end their fast.
Eid is celebrated by family and friends getting together and many will also attend special Eid prayers in the morning.
Later in the day, many including non-Muslims thronged in recreational facilities with their families to make fun of the day.
Kenyans took to the social media to wish their loved ones best of moments even as they marked the day.
President William Ruto too was not left behind. On his Twitter account he posted, "May Allah accept your fasting, prayers, charity and righteous deeds and allow us to see many more months of Ramadans in faith and good health. Aameen."
Azimio's Raila Odinga said, "I wish all of our beloved Muslim brothers and sisters a great Eid. May this wonderful occasion bring you and your loved ones much happiness, serenity, and prosperity. Eid Mubarak to you all!"
It is traditional for people to wear new clothes, in particular children, and for loved ones and neighbours to visit each other to exchange good wishes.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi's wife Tessie Mudavadi led others in distributing food to vulnerable families in Laikipia County.

Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, which is determined by the lunar cycle.
