Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Saturday extended greetings to Muslims on the eve of Bakrid.
The festival propagates devotion and sacrifice, he said in a release.
Bakrid also gives a divine message of leading a principled life by reposing faith in God without being perturbed by the problems encountered in daily lives, Rao said.
The festival sends out a message that nothing is greater than the generosity of donating to others, he added.
