Banks will be closed for two days this week in many parts of the country on account of Eid al-Adha or Bakrid 2025, per the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) bank holiday calendar. On June 6 and June 7, India will celebrate Eid ul-Adha or Bakrid.

One of the holiest festivals in Islam is Bakrid, also called Eid-ul-Adha. The lunar Islamic calendar determines the date of Eid al-Bakrid, which changes every year. In particular, it coincides with the sighting of the crescent moon on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, the last month in the Islamic calendar. Grand prayers, family get-togethers, and the symbolic custom of animal sacrifice are all part of the festival's heartfelt devotion and charitable celebrations.
