Bakrid, also known as Eid-ul-Adha, is one of the most sacred festivals in Islam. It carries profound spiritual significance and brings together millions of Muslims worldwide in faith, compassion, and community. The festival is celebrated with heartfelt devotion and generous acts of charity, featuring grand prayers, family gatherings, and the symbolic tradition of animal sacrifice.
When Is Bakrid 2025 celebrated in India?
The date of Bakrid varies each year and is determined by the lunar Islamic calendar. Specifically, it falls on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, the final month in the Islamic calendar, following the sighting of the crescent moon.
In 2025, the crescent moon for Dhul Hijjah was sighted in Saudi Arabia on May 27. As a result, Eid-ul-Adha will be celebrated on June 6 in Saudi Arabia. In India, where moon sightings are often a day behind, Bakrid will be observed on June 7, 2025.
