Peaceful Eid celebrations mark across Maha amid rituals & festivities

Mumbai, Jun 7 (UNI) Eid-ul-Adha 2025 was celebrated with heartfelt prayers and communal harmony across Maharashtra on Saturday, as devotees gathered at prominent mosques, including Mumbai’s iconic Haji Ali Dargah, Sunni Jama Masjid and others.
Despite intermittent rain in some areas, the spirit of the Festival of Sacrifice was celebrated with enthusiasm and peace.
Large congregations assembled at Haji Ali Dargah, located off the Worli coast, where worshippers offered prayers in honour of the occasion. Similar scenes of devotion were witnessed at Sunni Jama Masjid near Bandra railway station and the Jama Masjid in Mahim, with worshippers exchanging warm Eid greetings.
State police confirmed that the celebrations proceeded peacefully with no incidents reported.
In Pune, due to rainy weather, prayers were held inside mosques rather than open Eidgahs, where approximately 3,000 Muslims came together to mark the festival. Across other districts such as Buldhana, Aurangabad, Beed, Jalna, Osmanabad, Parbhani, Nanded, Latur and Hingoli, Eid was celebrated with traditional fervour.
In Buldhana, congregants gathered at the Eidgah ground of Moti Masjid to offer collective prayers and pray for peace, unity, and prosperity.
This year, Eid-ul-Adha coincided with Ashhudi Ekadashi, leading some Muslims to forgo the customary animal sacrifice.
Maulana Hafiz Rehmat Qureshi from Jami Masjid, Buldhana, emphasized that the essence of Bakrid lies in sacrifice and faith, with its core message promoting love, peace and brotherhood within society.
Eid-ul-Adha, also known as Bakrid, commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s unwavering devotion and willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command. Celebrated on the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah according to the Islamic lunar calendar, this year’s festival fell on June seven in India and other South Asian countries.
