Pakistanis eagerly anticipate Eid ul Adha, the annual Festival of Sacrifice celebrated by Muslims worldwide. In Pakistan, the festival is characterized by the tradition of Qurbani, or animal sacrifice, typically involving goats, sheep, cows, or camels.
Leading up to Eid ul Adha, special markets called Bakra Mandi are established in several cities, including the capital Islamabad, a couple of weeks before the festival. These Bakra Mandis are bustling with people who come to purchase animals for sacrifice.
