Islamabad – Pakistanis are excited for Eid-ul-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, celebrated annually by Muslims worldwide. In Pakistan, the festival involves sacrificing animals, usually goats, sheep, cows, or camels.
For animal sales, special markets called Bakra Mandis are set up in various cities, including Islamabad, a few weeks before Eid-ul-Adha. These markets are bustling with people purchasing animals for sacrifice.
