Milad-un-Nabi, commemorating the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammad, was celebrated in Kalaburagi on Sunday, with the Muslim-dominated areas in the city and other areas in the district wearing a festive look with festoons, banners, and lights.
Special namaz was offered in masjids in the evening to mark the celebrations. Thousands of devotees took out a procession carrying a tableau of sacred kaaba of Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. The youths took to the streets shouting slogans and flashing green flags.
A procession was also organised from Muslim chowk in which tableaux containing tastefully decorated models of the different mosques in the world brought in the illuminated vehicles. The procession converted into a mass celebration at National College ground.
