With the 3rd largest Muslim population after Indonesia and Pakistan, India, celebrates Muslim festivals with full enthusiasm. Eid-ul-Zuha is one such festival and also one of the two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims. People dressed in their finest attires perform Eid prayers known as Namaz in an open areaknown as theEidgaah.

Mohammad Nafis is a local politician from Old Delhi and a well-known person in his neighborhood. It is a matter of prestige for him to celebrate the festival and share the blessings with his friends and relatives. As per Indian tradition he lives in a joint family with his younger brother Mohammad Zaki. Together the whole family is celebrating Eid-ul-zuha.

Known as the feast of sacrifice, Eid is celebrated in the honour of Ibrahim, an Islamic prophet, who was willing to sacrifice his son Ismail on the command of the Lord -- Allah. Muslim belief says that Allah replaced Ismail with a lamb just when Ibrahim was about to slit his throat. The tradition has since then been a part of the Islamic religion and Muslims follow the ritual of sacrifice orQurbani.
