Thousands of people across Tayside are celebrating the end of the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.
More than 4,000 Muslims in Dundee, Perth, Angus and Fife are among the 1.6 billion across the world to have taken part in Ramadan, which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and involves a daily fast.
Weeks of abstaining from food and water came to an end on Thursday night.
The end of Ramadan is marked by the religious holiday of Eid al-Fitr at the coming of the new moon, which involves feasting and gift-giving. The festival traditionally lasts for three days.
Locals met in Dundee Central mosque for morning prayers to mark the start of Eid. This is usually followed by the first daylight meal in a month.
More than 1,000 people are expected to attend Eid in the Park this weekend. The event marking the end of Ramadan takes place on Sunday, June 17 at Lochee Park.
Millions gather for prayer
From the UK to Russia and across Africa and the Middle East, millions of Muslims have gathered in large crowds to perform Eid al-Fitr prayer.
Fasting during Ramadan lasts from sunrise to sunset
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food, drink and other physical needs including smoking and sex during daylight hours.
It is intended to purify the soul and practice self discipline and sacrifice.
Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam next to faith, prayer, charity and the pilgrimage to Mecca.
Though days are spent without food or drink, Muslims are allowed to break their fast after sunset throughout Ramadan. Known as Ifthar, locally this has fallen between 10pm and 1.30am.
Children may take part if they volunteer to while there are exemptions for the elderly, those suffering from disease and pregnant women.
