Eid Al Adha, also known as Bakrid, will be celebrated on Saturday, June 7, in Hyderabad and other part of India this year, marking a significant occasion for Muslims across the city. As one of the most important festivals in the Islamic calendar, the lead-up to Bakrid is always a lively affair. Roadsides in areas like Mehdipatnam, Jiyaguda, and Tolichowki are lined with temporary Bakra stalls, where buyers haggle over prices and inspect livestock in search of the perfect qurbani animal. The atmosphere is electric with a mix of devotion, excitement, and last-minute hustle.
While the focus usually remains on qurbani, Hyderabad‘s fashion markets have also come alive because looking the best on Eid Al Adha is just as important as preparing for the sacrifice. However, if you’re someone who totally forgot about clothes in the excitement, don’t worry. Hyderabad has plenty of last-minute shopping spots to come to the rescue.
From the glittering Laad Bazar and Tolichowki to relatively calm areas like Mehdipatnam and Abids, there is no shortage of options for those racing against the clock. Siasat.com has compiled a list of 6 such places, so go ahead and take a look.
