Muslims from all walks of life are set to celebrate Eid-ul-Adha 'Feast of the Sacrifice'.
From the wee hours of the morning, Muslims were seen heading to mosques for prayers and celebrations.
Eid-ul-Adha is the second largest of the two main holidays celebrated in Islam after Eid-ul-Fitr.
The day honours the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice one of his sons, either Ishmael (Ismail) or Isaac (Ishaq).
However, before Abraham could sacrifice his son in the name of God, and because of his willingness to do so, God provided him with a lamb to sacrifice in his son's place.
In commemoration of this intervention, animals are ritually sacrificed.
Part of their meat is consumed by the family that offers the animal, while the rest of the meat is distributed to the poor and the needy.
Sweets and gifts are given and extended family members typically visit and are welcomed.
In the Islamic lunar calendar, Eid-ul-Adha falls on the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijja and lasts for four days.
Muslims gather to offer Eid-ul-Adha prayers at the mosque and prayers are performed any time after the sun completely rises up to just before the entering of Zuhr time, on the tenth of Dhu al-Hijja.
