Mysuru: With Eid al-Adha (popularly known as Bakrid) set to be observed tomorrow (June 7), brisk business in sheep trading has picked up near T.N. Narasimhamurthy Circle — widely known as Millennium Circle — located in front of the LIC Divisional Office in the city.
Central to the Bakrid celebrations is the ritual sacrifice, or Qurbani, of an animal — typically a goat or sheep — commemorating Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command. As evening sets in, the area around the Circle becomes a hub of activity, with sheep sellers gathering to offer a wide variety of breeds that see high demand during the festive season.
