Eid Al-Adha Preparations In Kashmir

It marks the yearly Muslim pilgrimage, known as Hajj, to visit Mecca. During Eid al-Adha, Muslims slaughter goats, sheep, and cattle in commemoration of the Prophet Abraham's readiness to sacrifice his son to show obedience to God. They split the meat into three parts: one for family, one for friends and relatives, and one for the poor and needy. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
