AURANGABAD: Leading by example, Muslims from Aurangabad’s Pandharpur, better known as Chota Pandharpur, have unanimously decided to abstain from performing animal sacrifice rituals on the occasion of Eid ul Adha, which coincides with Ashadhi Ekadashi on Sunday.
Chota Pandharpur, located on the outskirts of Aurangabad, has a Vitthal Rukmini temple and is thronged by hundreds of thousands of devotees for paying obeisance on the occasion of Ashadhi Ekadashi.
The temple trust’s president Rajendra Pawar said, “The voluntary decision of our brothers from the Muslim community has won our hearts. We thank them for such a thoughtful gesture.”
