Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to hold an open house at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Monday, for halalbihalal (Eid gathering) with state figures, officials, and general public to celebrate Eid al-Fitr 1446 Hijri.
Deputy for Protocol, Press, and Media of the Presidential Secretariat Yusuf Permana stated on Sunday that the public keen to attend the event can come directly to the Palace without having to register.
"People can visit without registering. We also prepare food," he remarked.
Permana noted that so far, the Palace has not determined the capacity of guests, but it is possible that this will be adjusted to the situation on D-Day.
Before the halalbihalal, the head of state performed his Eid prayers at the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta with Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka and several ministers of the Red and White Cabinet on Monday morning.
After the Eid prayers, the president will hold an open house at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta, which will start at 09:00 local time.
At the event, the president invited former presidents, former vice presidents, state officials, ambassadors, international institutions, religious figures, community leaders, and the general public. He also invited national figures, including the general chairmen of political parties, to attend.
Earlier, the Ministry of Religious Affairs determined that Eid al-Fitr 1 Shawwal 1446 Hijri falls on Monday.
"1 Shawwal 1446 Hijri falls on Monday, March 31, 2025 AD," Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar stated in the Press Conference for the Isbat Session of 1 Shawwal 1446 Hijri in Jakarta on Saturday (March 29).
