About Eid-ul-Adha (बकरीद)

Eid-ul-Adha, also called Bakra Eid or the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of two major Islamic festivals (the other being Eid-ul-Fitr). It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's unwavering willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah, and Allah's mercy in providing a ram as substitute. The day is marked by special congregational prayers (Eid Salah), the symbolic Qurbani (sacrifice) of an animal, and the distribution of meat among family, friends, and especially the less fortunate — emphasising community, generosity, and faith.

When and why Eid-ul-Adha is celebrated

Eid-ul-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Because the Islamic calendar is ~11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, the festival shifts each year. In 2026, Eid-ul-Adha is on Wednesday, 27 May. The festival also coincides with the conclusion of the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. Across India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Middle East, and Muslim communities worldwide, the day begins with Fajr prayers, followed by Eid Salah at the local masjid, then Qurbani and family feasts.

Eid-ul-Adha traditions and regional variations across India

Eid-ul-Adha traditions blend the spiritual and the social. The day starts with a ritual bath (ghusl), new clothes (especially white for prayers), and the Eid Salah at the masjid or eidgah ground. After prayer, families perform Qurbani — sacrificing a goat, sheep, cow, or camel — and divide the meat into three parts: one for the family, one for relatives and friends, and one for the needy. Traditional dishes vary by region: biryani, kebabs, korma, sheer khurma, and seviyan are common across India. Children receive Eidi (small monetary gifts) from elders. The greeting "Eid Mubarak" is exchanged with hugs and handshakes. In Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Muslim families prepare nei choru and beef stew; in Hyderabad, the famed mutton biryani; in Lucknow, galouti kebabs and sheermal.

How to make a beautiful Eid-ul-Adha photo wish card

Eid-ul-Adha cards should feel reverent, warm, and uplifting. Our Canva backgrounds include lit Moroccan lanterns, mosque silhouettes with crescent moons, ornate Islamic geometric patterns, brass tasbih on velvet, and golden Bismillah-style calligraphy designs. For family wishes, the "Mosque Dome" or "Glowing Lanterns" backgrounds work beautifully. For close friends, our newer animation-style designs (rising lanterns, fireworks over mosque) add a festive cinematic touch. Pair with wishes in Urdu, Hindi, English, or any of our 11 languages. Always sign off with "Eid Mubarak", "ईद मुबारक", or "عید مبارک". Avoid colour combinations that feel un-Islamic (like loud reds or pinks) — stick to gold, deep green, navy blue, and cream.

Eid-ul-Adha photo card maker — FAQ

When is Eid-ul-Adha 2026 and 2027?

Eid-ul-Adha 2026 falls on Wednesday, 27 May (in India). Eid-ul-Adha 2027 will fall on Monday, 17 May. Exact dates may vary by ±1 day across countries based on the lunar moon-sighting in each region.

What is the difference between Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha?

Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan (the holy month of fasting) and is celebrated on the 1st of Shawwal. Eid-ul-Adha (the "festival of sacrifice") falls about 70 days later on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah and commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son. Eid-ul-Fitr is the "sweet Eid"; Eid-ul-Adha is the "meat Eid" (because of Qurbani).

How do I write "Eid Mubarak" in different Indian languages?

Hindi: ईद मुबारक. Urdu: عید مبارک. Bengali: ঈদ মোবারক. Tamil: ஈத் முபாரக். Gujarati: ઈદ મુબારક. Malayalam: ഈദ് മുബാറക്. We have culturally curated Eid wishes ready in all 11 Indian languages with proper native scripts.

What background works best for an Eid card for elders?

For elders, choose the "Mosque at Sunset", "Mosque Dome", or "Glowing Lanterns" background — they convey reverence and gravitas. Pair with a formal heartfelt wish in their mother tongue (Urdu or Hindi for North India; Tamil/Malayalam for South). Avoid the fireworks or vibrant animation-style backgrounds — those feel too festive for an elder.
