Aurangabad, Nov.14 (ANI): Buying a goat in Aurangabad is proving to be prohibitive ahead of the Muslim festival of “Eid-ul-Adha”.
“Eid-ul-Adha” will be celebrated on Wednesday.
Traders have brought a variety of goats to the Chavani Bazaar.
Ubed Khan, a goat seller, claims he owns the original breed of the Jamnapari Goat (a breed of goat originating from India and Bangladesh) and he has fixed a significantly high price for it.
“This is a Jamnapari breed of goat which is found in Hyderabad. I have owned this goat for ten months. It weighs 75 kilograms. I have kept the offer price at two lakh rupees,” said Khan.
Eid-ul-Adha is an important festival in the Muslim calendar.
The festival remembers Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his own son when God ordered him to.
Muslims all over the world sacrifice a sheep or a goat as a reminder of that event. (ANI)
