Eid al-Adha (Eid-ul-Adha), also known as Bakrid (Bakra Eid) in India, is one of the most important festivals of the Muslim community. Eid al-Adha is observed on the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the twelfth and last month of the Islamic calendar. This year, the festival of sacrifice will be celebrated in Kerala on July 31 and the rest of India on August 1.

On this day, Muslims sacrifice a goat, a sheep, or any other animal to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to surrender his son Ismael to fulfil Allah’s command. Apart from that, they offer prayers, attend sermons, prepare delicacies and give charity to the poor. Many Muslims also donate to other charities and organizations during this time.
