The congregation started formally with religious sermons after Fajr prayers.
The first phase of the three-day Biswa Ijtema will end on January 11 (Sunday) with the Akheri Munajat while the second phase will be held from January 16 to 18.
Although countrywide blockade sponsored BNP-led 20-party alliance, lakhs of people have already thronged the Ijtema venue.
