Muslim organizations in Palghar, Maharashtra, have chosen to delay their annual Eid-e-Milad processions by one day to ensure peaceful Ganesh immersion processions on September 28, as confirmed by a senior police official.

This year, Eid-e-Milad coincides with Anant Chaturdashi, the final day of the 10-day Ganesh festival, both falling on September 28. Eid-e-Milad holds significant importance in the Islamic calendar as it commemorates the birth of Prophet Mohammed, observed with vibrant processions. Meanwhile Anant Chaturdashi signifies culmination of Ganesh Chaturthi with visarjan of Ganapati idols. Huge processions are taken out by big pandals.
