Kashmiri Muslims Make the Pilgrimage To Mecca

SRINAGAR, KASHMIR, INDIA - JULY 26: Kashmiri Muslims prepare to depart for the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca on July 26, 2017 in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian administered Kashmir, India. A second group of 840 Kashmiri Muslim Hajj pilgrims left for Mecca, the focal point of the Islamic faith, in Saudi Arabia to perform annual Hajj pilgrimage. 1680 pilgrims left since yesterday and around 8,000 pilgrims from Indian controlled Kashmir are expected to participate in the Hajj this year. The Hajj is a religious pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Islamic religious doctrine dictates that Hajj must be performed at least once in a lifetime by all able-bodied adult Muslims who can afford to do so. Hajj takes place from the 8th through the 12th day of Dhul Hijah, the twelfth and final month in the Islamic lunar calendar. More than 2 million Muslims from over 183 countries make Hajj each year.
