STORYLINE:
Muslims in Indonesia joined communal prayers shoulder-to-shoulder on the streets and inside mosques on Monday to mark the Eid-al-Fitr.
On the road of Jatinegara in Jakarta, hundereds of devotees performed the morning prayer.
The Eid al-Fitr holiday marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
The usual festive mood of the Eid al-Fitr holiday has been subdued in Indonesia this year as people grapple with soaring prices for food, clothing and essential goods.
Consumer spending ahead of the biggest religious holiday for Muslims has declined compared to the previous year, with a predicted slowdown in cash circulation due to fewer travelers.
Each year in Indonesia, nearly three-quarters of the population of the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country travel for the annual homecoming known locally as “mudik” that is always welcomed with excitement.
People pour out of major cities to return to villages to celebrate the holiday with prayers, feasts and family gatherings.
But this year the Transportation Ministry said Eid travelers reached 146 million people, a 24% drop from last year’s 194 million travelers.
The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry projects that money circulation during Eid will reach 137.97 trillion rupiah (8.33 billion US dollars), down from 157.3 trillion last year.
