Preparation is going on for the festival of Eid ul-Adha (Baqreid) in Kashmir. People are thronging to the market for buying goats and sheep for the sacrificing ritual during the festival.
The city’s landscape is dotted with sheep sale points as purchases of the sacrificial animal ahead of Eid-ul-Adha, to be celebrated on Thursday , are picking up across Srinagar city.
Many different varieties of animals like Rajasthan, Kaju, Hybrid sheep and Kashmir breeds are available in the market. The sellers take care of the sheep for the entire year.
“It takes us a year to raise the sacrificial animal. That is the reason they look so beautiful and good in size and we expect a good price for the efforts we make for raising them.”, said a group of men selling their livestock.
Apart from people buying the sacrificial animals, the centre of attraction for every visitor was the exquisite quality of sheep known as “Dumba”, and people were seen clicking the pictures with the rare breed of sheep.
Sales and purchases are expected to increase further in the coming days as Eid-Ul-Adha is scheduled to be celebrated on 29th June.

Some people also buy younger animals. The sellers are earning very high profit these days as Muslims need animals for sacrificing rituals during Eid-ul-Adha.
