Hajj pilgrimage

Indian Muslim pilgrims hold their documents at the airport before leaving for the annual Hajj pilgrimage in the Holy city of Mecca in New Delhi on August 7, 2016. The Hajj, the largest annual pilgrimage in the world, is the fifth pillar of Islam, a religious duty that must be carried out at least once in the lifetime of every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so.
