Pakistan celebrated Eid-ul-Azha Monday with great religious fervour and enthusiasm, commemorating the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim, Geo News reported.
The day dawned with special prayers in mosques for peace, progress and well-being of the community and country.
Eid congregations were held at mosques, Eidgahs (open gathering place usually outside the city), and in all cities, towns, and villages.
