The festivities and celebrations of Eid-ul-Azha con-tinue on the third consecutive day (Wednesday) as people visit their relatives and recreational sites to share the joy of Eid in northern Sindh. On the sec-ond day of Eid, people visit their relatives, where they give Eid greetings to one another.
On this occasion, people plan a special menu for their guests, keeping in mind that the dishes should be different from the regular meals.
Varieties of dishes Most traditional dishes are part of the menu, as such dishes are liked by everyone. Get-together planning at home or somewhere out-side is also part of this holy festival. Eidi is given to the children, which fascinates them a lot. Families enjoy visiting recreational sites; they also visit res-taurants to enjoy meals.
Civic authorities in cities and towns have imple-mented special arrangements for the disposal of offals and other solid waste, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene during the three days of festivities. The festival is traditionally marked by the slaughter of animals, with the meat distributed among family members and the poor, emphasizing the values of charity and community. Strict security arrangements have been made to thwart any untoward incidents during the Eid holidays.—INP
