Eid al-Adha: Visuals of celebrations from across India
Devotees from all over India offered prayers on Wednesday on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. In Delhi, only a few people were seen offering namaz at Jama Masjid, the biggest mosque in India. However, no mass gatherings were allowed due to the pandemic. Shahi Imam, Abdul Ghafoor Shah Bukhari had appealed to all to offer namaz at home.
