The Muslim community around the world is celebrating Eid al-Adha, also known as Bakr Eid or Bakrid.
Although the "feast of sacrifice" is being celebrated on 24 September globally, most states in India will celebrate the festival a day later (25 September).
Muslim devotees celebrate Eid al-Adha by offering prayers and slaughtering animals.
This is the second most important Muslim festival, which is observed on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah -- the 12th month in the Islamic calendar.
Several celebrities and politicians have wished people on social media. Even Bollywood celebs have wished 'Eid Mubarak' on social media.
Eid Mubarak. Wishing everyone good health, peace and prosperity. Love. a.
