The Muslim community across India observed Id-ul-Adha (Bakrid) on Thursday (May 28, 2026) by gathering in large congregations at mosques and open grounds for special morning prayers. Special prayers were also offered at the Fatehpuri Masjid in Old Delhi, while large crowds gathered at the Jama Masjid in New Delhi and at various Eidgahs to offer prayers. Id-ul-Adha, which is being observed on May 28 this year, is a significant Islamic festival also referred to as the 'festival of sacrifice'. It is observed on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic lunar calendar, and marks the culmination of the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. The Hindu's photographers bring together captured moments from across the country.
