Milad-un-Nabi, the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, was celebrated on Tuesday with processions, and sermons, and a feeling of religiosity. Tuesday corresponded to the 12th day of the month of Rabi al Awaal of the Islamic calendar.
The young and old joined in one of the oldest and biggest Milad processions in the city, organised by the Sunni United Forum of India (SUFI), a gathering of faith leaders cutting across organisations. A large number of people took part in the procession carrying flags, standards and buntings which bore religious inscriptions and symbols. The procession began from Charminar and ended at Moghalpura.
Smaller processions were witnessed in other parts of the city as well, in areas such as Banjara Hills, Masab Tank, and Ameerpet.
