10-km long Ghadir feast begins in Tehran
Tehran is currently hosting a major celebration as its residents commemorate Eid al-Ghadir, marking one of the most significant observances in the Iranian capital.
In Islamic culture, the holiday known as “Eid al-Ghadir” is observed on the 18th day of the eleventh month, Dhuʻl-Hijjah, in the Arabic calendar.
This day serves as a reminder of the occasion described in hadiths when the Prophet Muhammad appointed Ali ibn Abi Talib as the Imam after receiving divine instruction.
Iranian authorities have reported that comparable festivities are taking place in 1,000 towns across the country, in addition to the capital, Tehran.
A ceremonial event is being conducted in Tehran, stretching from Imam Hossein Square in the downtown area to Azadi Square in the western part of the capital, scheduled for Thursday.
Organizers have established mawkibs, or tents, to provide attendees with refreshments and sandwiches.
There are also initiatives designed for children to engage in recreational activities.
