Mumbai. Oct 16: Bakri Eid, also known as Eid-al-Azha, is being celebrated today to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's readiness to obey Allah's command by sacrificing his own son. It is thus known as the festival of sacrifice.

Muslims across India have geared up to celebrate this festival and exchange greetings.

Security has been beefed up in many areas across the country as wholesalers and retailers buy and sell the sacrificial animals in the market. The sales started several days before this day and will continue throughout the day.

It has also been reported that this year, the prices of the sacrificial animals like goats, sheeps and bulls are sky-high.

Also known as Eid-e-Qurban, it is the second major festival of Muslims. The meat of the sacrificed animals is distributed among neighbours, relatives and the poor.
