Eid al-Adha is the tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah. The اختلاف المطالع (difference in moonrise times) is considered, and each country has its own sighting. If Muslims in India observe the crescent and complete the month when it is not sighted, then their Eid is the tenth day for them, according to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Your fast is the day you fast, and your 'Eid al-Adha is the day you offer your sacrifices."
