Dhaka is a city where flooding is very common. A heavy pour of rain can easily flood the streets because of the poor drainage systems. The rain that washed out the blood from the slaughtered livestock from the mass sacrifice of the Muslim communities.
The Eid al-Adha commemorates the test of faith of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) when God asked him to sacrifice his own son. Just before he's about to do the sacrifice, the angel Jibra'il (Gabriel) intervened and informed him that his sacrifice had already been accepted. Instead of his son, the prophet offered a lamb.
The Muslims remember this through the livestock sacrifice, usually a cow, a sheep or a goat. The meat from the sacrifice is divided into 3 parts. One part is for the family, the second part for relatives of friends, and the third one for people who are in need.
