Eid al-Adha traditions in India

In India, the day usually begins with the Eid prayer at the masjid or Eidgah, followed by Qurbani. Families then prepare special dishes such as biryani, kebabs and sheer khurma, and visit relatives through the day.

Meat is shared with neighbours and those in need, and children receive Eidi from elders. The spirit of sharing is what makes the day special.

Dressing for a busy Eid

Eid al-Adha is often a long, practical day of Qurbani, cooking and visits. Easy-care crinkle or cotton abayas and a secure hijab work better than delicate fabrics.

Change into something festive for the evening. Our Eid outfit guide has eight modest looks.

Sharing Qurbani and kindness

The heart of the festival is sharing. Along with your wishes, take a plate of food to a neighbour of any faith, or give to families who cannot afford Qurbani.

Remembering the days of Dhul Hijjah

The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are among the most blessed days of the year. Many Muslims fast on the Day of Arafah, the ninth, and increase in dhikr and good deeds.

Your Eid message can include a gentle reminder of these days, especially if you send it the evening before Eid.

Calling elders and relatives who live far away is also part of the tradition, and a voice or video call often means more than a forwarded message.
