The people of five villages have started fasting on Saturday, a day before Ramadan.
The villages are Adhara, Choto Mollakandi, Anadapur, Dhalikandi and Rajachar.
The Muslims of these villages offered their Tarabih prayer on Friday night and took Sehri before the Fajr prayer early Saturday.
“The devotees have started fasting from Saturday as they are the followers of Goltupi Pir of Chandpur,” said one Wahid of Mollakandi village.
“They will also observe Eid-ul-Fitr one day before the rest of the nation.”
