Maharashtra Declares Public Holiday for Eid Milad-un-Nabi
The Maharashtra government announced a public holiday on September 8 for Eid Milad-un-Nabi. The move followed requests from the Muslim community to allow smooth conduct of the Eid-e-Milad procession.
In its notification, the Department of General Administration said the holiday was shifted from September 6 to September 8 to avoid a clash with Anant Chaturdashi, which marks the immersion of Ganpati idols.
Eid-e-Milad, also known as Eid Milad-un-Nabi, commemorates the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad and is predominantly celebrated by the Sufi and Barelvi communities.
