Eid-e-Ghadeer Wallpapers

Eid-e-Ghadeer is observed on the 18th of Dhul Hijjah in the Islamic calendar, primarily by Shia Muslims in India. It commemorates the event at Ghadir Khumm where, according to Shia belief, Prophet Muhammad declared Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor. The celebration is particularly significant in Lucknow, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and other cities with large Shia populations. Devotees visit imambaras (Shia prayer halls), listen to sermons recounting the event at Ghadir Khumm, exchange greetings, and distribute food. In Lucknow, the celebrations at the Bara Imambara and other historic Shia institutions are elaborate, with special prayers, processions, and community feasts. In Hyderabad, the festival is observed at various Ashoorkhanas with majlis (religious gatherings) and food distribution. The day is considered one of the most auspicious in the Shia calendar, and many weddings and naming ceremonies are conducted. The festival, while primarily Shia, is recognized across the Indian Muslim community and contributes to the rich tapestry of Islamic observances in India.
