Popularly known as Barah Wafat (twelve death), this festival is celebrated on the twelfth day of the third month Rabi-ul-Awwal, in September / October. His death anniversary also falls on the same day, the word barah standing for the twelve days of the Prophet's sickness.
During these days, learned men deliver sermons in mosques, focussing on the life and noble deeds of the Prophet. In some parts of the country, a ceremony known as sandal rite is performed over the symbolic footprints of the Prophet engraved in stone.
