KATHMANDU, Nov 6: The government has announced November 7 a public holiday for Eid al-Adha, according to Ministry of Home Affairs.



Muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha, also known as Bakr Eid or Festival of Sacrifice or Greater Eid, on the tenth day of the last Islamic lunar month.



Eid al-Adha is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with a sheep— to sacrifice instead, according to holy texts.



Muslims in Nepal celebrate the festival by sacrificing goats at their home.
