Indian Haj pilgrims joined millions of others on Thursday at Mount Arafat outside Mecca in Saudi Arabia to perform Wuquf-e-Arafat, the core ritual of Haj. The Indian Medical Mission ensured that the pilgrims, including those sick or hospitalised, arrived in time for the ritual through dedicated ambulances and special buses - a testament to Indian Haj Mission's care and commitment during Haj.

India's Consul General in Jeddah, Fahad Ahmed Khan Suri, announced the safe arrival of Indian pilgrims in Arafat and highlighted that the Indian Haj mission, in coordination with the Saudi authorities, ensured their smooth journey.

"I am pleased to share that all pilgrims from India have safely arrived in Arafat. I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all pilgrims gathered in Arafat, the pinnacle of the Haj journey.

These five sacred days spent in Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah are a time of deep reflection and devotion and forms the core elements of Haj," said the Indian Consul General.
