Holiday for Bakrid in Telangana
The Telangana government has declared May 28 as a holiday on the occasion of Eid-Al-Adha.
As per the Telangana calendar, the government had declared the holiday on May 27. However, as the crescent moon marking the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah 1447 AH was not sighted in Hyderabad or other parts of Telangana on Sunday, May 17, the festival will be celebrated on May 28 and, accordingly, the government made changes to the holiday.
The beginning of Dhul-Hijjah marks the start of the annual Haj pilgrimage and the countdown to Eid al-Adha, one of the most significant festivals in Islam.
