Millions of Muslims across the world are marking Eidul Azha, offering special prayers, sharing meals, and distributing meat to the less fortunate.
Celebrated on the 10th of Zilhaj, Eidul Azha marks the culmination of Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam.
Worshippers in several countries, including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Thailand, and Myanmar, gathered to mark the festivities, amid the shadow of Israeli bombardment and siege in Gaza, which has so far claimed the lives of over 54,000 Palestinians.
In Pakistan, large congregational prayers were held at mosques and open grounds, with communities coming together to perform the ritual sacrifice and distribute meat among the less fortunate.
