Muslims began Eid-ul-Adha preparations in Pakistan's port city of Karachi on Sunday, with sacrificial cattle being lowered by crane from their rooftop barns.
In the three-day festival sacrificing goats, cows, bulls and camels is a part of religious celebrations.
As the festival approaches, the buying of animals for slaughter from temporary markets is a spectacle to be witnessed by families each year.
For the last ten years, Syed Ejaz Hassan, a resident of Karachi's modest Nazimabad neighbourhood, has bought calves soon after Eid-ul-Adha, and raised them to adulthood on the roof top of his family home.
A year later, as Eid-ul-Adha approaches, the cows and bulls are lowered down by cranes in a spectacle witnessed by a crowd of people chanting slogans and praise.
The delicate procedure is a show of excitement for hundreds from the neighborhood and surrounding area to witness along with their children.
Hassan and his family look after the animals with dedication in a makeshift barn on top of their building for one whole year.
Each year the tradition also brings some sadness for the Hassan children who get attached to the animals.
