As per religious beliefs, Bakrid or Eid al-Adha honours the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son Ishmael (Ismail) as an act of obedience to God's command. However, before Abraham could sacrifice his son, God provided him with a lamb to sacrifice in his son's place. Hence, on Bakrid, Muslims demonstrate their obedience to Allah by sacrificing an animal. On this day, Muslims offer the Eid al-Adha prayers at the mosque. The act of sacrifice of an animal, usually known as ‘qurbani’ is carried out after the Eid prayers. Eid al-Adha 2023: Thieves Strike Mumbai's Deonar Goat Market, Steal Mobile Phones and Cash of Traders Ahead of Bakrid.

The goal of the age-old tradition is to make sure every Muslim gets to eat meat. On the day of Bakrid, people dress up in the best of their clothes, visit friends and relatives and exchange gifts with each other.
