Milad un Nabi celebrations in Telangana

Although Milad un Nabi was on September 16 this year, it was decided to celebrate it on Thursday due to the 10-day Ganesh festival, which ended with Ganesh Visarjan on Wednesday.

Last year too, the Milad un Nabi procession in Hyderabad was also rescheduled because it coincided with the Ganesh immersion festival.

In Hyderabad today, a procession will be held from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

It was earlier decided that Hyderabad would host year-long events to mark the 1500th anniversary of Milad un Nabi.

The events will include seminars, natiya mehfils, and literary competitions.
