Most Muslim countries observe a three-day festival; however, Eid al Adha is only practiced on one day in Burma. During both Eids, the traditional greeting is the standard Islamic greeting, and Eid Mubarak is only rarely heard. The greeting is succeeded by placing the right hand on the forehead (as if giving a salute).

There are no shaking hands, and only rarely is there a formal embrace. This celebration is considered one of Islam's revered observances. Adha is the Arabic word for sacrifice. Muslims often celebrate by visiting friends and family, exchanging gifts, and participating in feasts.
