Srinagar: The birth anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad was celebrated with devotion, reverence and grandeur across the country, including the Kashmir Valley, as part of the Milad-un-Nabi festivities. The largest gathering in the Valley took place at the revered shrine of Hazratbal where thousands of devotees, including a significant number of elderly and women, congregated to participate in the spiritually uplifting ceremonies. After the soulful and blessed gatherings, a large number of devotees from various parts of the Valley were blessed with the opportunity to view the Holy Relic of the Prophet.

On the occasion, the devotees, in an atmosphere of humility and submission, offered prayers to Allah for forgiveness of their sins and transgressions. Special prayers were also offered for the peace, security, prosperity and well-being of the Kashmir Valley.

In addition to Hazratbal, other mosques, shrines and religious sites across the Valley also hosted night-long prayer gatherings in honour of the Prophet's birth. For the past several days, mosques across the Valley have been reverberated with prayers and the recitation of Darood-o-Salaam from Maghrib to Isha prayers.

Similarly, vibrant and spiritually uplifting gatherings took place at Ashar-e-Sharif Pinjoora in Shopian, Aham Sharif in Bandipora, Jenab Sahib Soura, Kalashpora in Srinagar and the historic Jamia Masjid in Srinagar where the atmosphere reverberated with the praises of Prophet Muhammad. Scholars, preachers and Imams highlighted various aspects of the Prophet's blessed life in their sermons.

At the Hazratbal shrine, the district administration of Srinagar in collaboration with several government agencies and volunteer organisations made special arrangements to provide all possible facilities for the devotees attending the Milad-un-Nabi celebrations.

To ensure the smooth flow of devotees from both urban and rural areas to the Hazratbal shrine, adequate traffic management was in place. The traffic police had already developed a route plan to prevent any congestion or parking issues allowing devotees to reach the shrine without facing any difficulties.
