Dhaka streets turned into rivers of Blood on Tuesday

Huge swathes of animal sacrifices making the Islamic festival Eid al-Adha turned the streets of Bangladesh's capital into rivers of blood.
Authorities in Dhaka had designated areas in the city where residents could slaughter animals,but heavy downpours on Tuesday rendered them out of action. Instead Muslims took to car parks garages and  alleyways to traditionally mark Eid al-Adha or the feast of sacrifice- by slaughtering livestock & when the blood flowed into the streets, it turned them red.

Usually a sheep,goat or cow is killed to commemorate prophet Ibrahim's test of faith at the festival. the meat of the sacrificed animal is shared among families, friends and poor people who cannot afford sacrifice animals as a gesture of generosity to promote social harmony. See photos
