Muslims across the world celebrated Eid Ul-Adah with joy on Monday. Eid Ul-Adah is also known as ‘The feast of sacrifice’ and marks the end of Hajj – one of the biggest pilgrimage in the world.

Indian Muslims are celebrating the festival on Tuesday. People across the country offered Namaz in the morning and wished each other on this joyous occasion.

However, there were no celebrations in Kashmir as all the 11 districts in valley still remain in the clutches of curfew. Things worsened after two encounters on Monday in Poonch.
