Happy Eld-el-Fitr. This celebration in always marked in some northern states of Nigeria with durbar. With people looking beautiful in their attires. Even horses and camels are not left behind. They are beautifully dressed too.

The history of the origin of the Hausas is always told in the durbar display, the Bayajidda story. And this is the beauty of durbar in Katsina State.

People from all over the world come to watch this durbar
