Eidul Adha is known as Feast of Sacrifice; one of two major Islamic occasions that coincides with the final rites of the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
During Eid, Muslims attend special Eid congregation, followed by the sacrifice of an animal, usually a sheep, goat, or cow. The meat from the sacrificed animal is divided into relatives and needy.
Families also come together to enjoy festive meals, exchange greetings and gifts, and participate in various cultural activities.
