More than 30,000 devotees offered afternoon prayers at the Hazratbal Shrine as a part of the celebration. The relics of the Prophet (SAW) were displayed after the Fajr prayers at the Hazratbal Shrinei in Dargah.

Besides Dargah Hazratbal, many other mosques, most of which were ornamented, witnessed nightlong prayers across the valley.

All arrangements have been put in place at Hazratbal and other shrines for the convenience of devotees, government officials said.
