Question about something I saw near at a mosque...

I’ve walked past this particular mosque several times and have always seen all males either arriving or departing. This evening (at about 21:50) I saw several women, along with the men, departing. It was a unique sight (to me) as I’ve never seen women anywhere near this mosque. Can anyone share the reason for this? I’m assuming it has to do with ramadan, but am curious as to how specifically? Wasn’t brave enough to approach any ladies there to ask.
Thank you!

Hi Tundra, Thank you for the question. We muslims have started the month of Ramadan (month of fasting). Where we refrain from permitted stuffs otherwise (eat, drink, etc) from 415AM to 1849hrs . We have special prayer in addition to our regular prayer. Women do take this opportunity to go and pray. Hence you have seen they are arriving in numbers.
