Celebrating Eid-Ul-Adha In Our Time

On  the 6th of October muslim people here in Bangladesh celebrated their 2nd biggest religious festival Eid-Ul-Adha. during this day you sacrifice an animal in the name of Allah.

So people who can afford they sacrifice a domestic animal. I have celebrated my day in a different way. I went out in the morning with a friend for a walk to see what is happening around us, how people are celebrating their Eid day. Got some glimpse of the life and celebration.

Here are some pictures of what I saw how people were celebrating their special day. This is another part of the world that sometimes we don’t see when we are too busy with our lives.
