Hyderabad: Hyderabad will host year-long events to mark the 1500th anniversary of Milad-un-Nabi, as decided by the Markaz-e-Milad Juloos Committee, also known as the Central Milad Procession Committee.
The events will include seminars, natiya mehfils, and literary competitions.
Following a meeting at its office, the committee decided to involve people from other faiths as well.
Milad-un-Nabi procession in Hyderabad
Since Eid Milad-un-Nabi is expected to fall on September 16, the procession in Hyderabad is also anticipated on the same day. Although the Telangana government has declared a holiday for that day, the exact date of Milad-un-Nabi is not yet confirmed, as it depends on the sighting of the crescent moon.
Given that this is the 1500th anniversary of Milad-un-Nabi, various events are planned throughout the year.
Procession rescheduled last year
Last year, the Milad-un-Nabi procession in Hyderabad was rescheduled because it coincided with the Ganesh immersion festival.
This year, Vinayaka Chavithi falls on September 7, and Ganesh Visarjan is scheduled for September 17.
As Milad-un-Nabi is celebrated on Rabi’ al-awwal 12, which may fall on September 16 or 17 depending on the crescent sighting, it remains to be seen whether it will again coincide with Ganesh Visarjan.
