Bakra Eid Or Eid Al-Adha Obvserved In Nepal
Nepali Muslims attend a mass Namaz ceremony at a local mosque in Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 28, 2026, on the occasion of Eid-Al-Adha, also known as Bakra Eid. Eid al-Adha is traditionally celebrated on the 70th day after Ramadan. Muslims begin the day with a ritual bath and then proceed to the nearest mosque or Idgah to offer prayers. Following the prayers, it is customary to exchange greetings. According to Islamic belief, the event commemorates Ibrahim's devotion when he is commanded in a dream to sacrifice his son Ismail, but Allah intervenes and replaces Ismail with a ram. Muslims around the world continue the practice of animal sacrifice during Bakra Eid, with the meat divided into three parts: one for the poor and needy, another for relatives and friends, and the third for the family. On this occasion, Muslims who are financially capable travel to Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj pilgrimage. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
