Mangaluru : Dakshina Kannada and Udupi on Sunday celebrated Eid-al-Adha (Bakrid) with traditional fervour and gaiety on Sunday.

The prayer was led by Maulana Abdul Rashid Nadvi at Jamia Masjid in Kudroli and Maulana Inaythullah Razvi at the Anjuman masjid here.

Hundreds of devotees participated in namaz held at various mosques in the two districts. Continuing rains in the coastal areas over the last one week did not dampen the celebration of Bakrid, known as the ‘festival of sacrifice’.
