[vc_row full_width=”” parallax=”” parallax_image=””][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]The smell of cows and goats is in the air, stacks of hay and beaded jewelry items are adorning the streets, the whirrs of dancing bells with crowd cheering ‘gaey aa gai, gaaey aa gai’ have started to appear.
Yes, Bakra Eid is just around the corner and it is evident with the excitement illuminating the faces with each passing day.
Eid ul Adha brings enjoyment for everyone; the absolute enthusiastics plan trips to bakra mandi, beautify their animals with bells and ornaments and take them on ride every single day, the passionates go to see animal cat walk, cherish them walking on the ramp and displaying their beauty, and take tours to watch animals in the nearby area while the foodie enjoy barbecue parties after the sacrifice.
Trips to bakra/cow mandi with friends and relatives is indeed the highlight of this Eid. The lookout of an appropriate animal (when the mandi is talking to sky) is tough but equally entertaining.
There’s nothing that can replace the joy of bringing animal home while hanging in the stinking van. But if you are one of those who find these task hectic and usually depend on others for getting an animal, there’s an option – buy your animal online.
Yes, after the success of shadi online and other e-services, you can find an animal online too.
A simple google search of ‘bakra/cow mandi’ will give you numerous options to choose from. However, sites that capture my interest are:
Qurbani Online is one of the most organized website to buy an animal for sacrifice. Select the animal, breed and weight you want and the site will tell you the amount.
You can get an animal delivered at your place or request the site to sacrifice it for you and send you the meat. All you have to do is fill in the information and pay the bill via credit card. The bummer is that this service is for Karachi only.
But if you live in any other city you can still get a goat bleating at your door step for an additional two or three thousand.
Olx.com.pk also has a great collection of goats and cows for sale. The animals are up for grabs from different corners of the country at different prices.
Buying an animal online is easy but it requires the same knowledge and sensibility you need to make a purchase from mandi. Do proper research, check the authenticity of ad and don’t let anyone fool you.
By @Maryam Dodhy for Techjuice Usage of technology as an enabler is the way to go forward. If we look around ourselves, we will find a great number of examples where usage of technology has made our lives so much more easier.
Long gone are the days when people had to spend days upon days searching the Bakra Mandi for the perfect animal. Sacrificial animals are being sold online making this task hassle free. However, the concept isn’t entirely new. This practice has been around for a few years now. People have been putting sacrificial animal for sale ads on social media and OLX but on a limited scale. QurbaniOnline is a site specifically geared for this task.
The online sale of animals is expected to rise this year. People at qurbanionline.com say that they sold 67,000 animals in 2013 and 75,000 animals in 2014 and that number is expected to rise up to 100,000 this year. These online sites make purchase easy for those of us scared to hunt markets. Here you are expected to find a goat for about Rs. 23,000 and a cow for a little over 72,000.
Now this article is not focused on the online forums that will help you find the right bakra but rather on why the need has arise for such forums to exist and how Pakistan is gradually moving towards a digital future. If you compare your life now to what it was a decade ago, you’ll probably think our lives have become fast-paced and very technology-oriented. Everything has gone electronic and its catalyst is a sudden boom of technology. Back up a few years, how many laptops (and other smart gadgets) did you have in your house then? How many do you have now? There lies your answer. Everything is a click away. Want to buy some clothes? Visit an online store. Book your appointmentsonline. Plan your wedding online. Order food, maintenance services – and now sacrificial animals for Eid-ul-Azha.
Long story short, we have an online alternative of everything now. Don’t feel like getting out of the house? Order online. And there’s nothing bad about this trend either. If there’s anything it’s doing, it’s making lives easier. So, don’t ask why do we need an online alternative of everything, the question you should be asking is why didn’t we think of this before? The answer is because we weren’t as technology-friendly as we are now. These days, a Pakistani household that has at least one member pursuing higher education will have an abundance of smart gadgets. Naturally, these people will use such websites to make their life easier. This trend will only grow and is a reminder of the fact of how fast Pakistan is moving towards a digital future.

Translation: “I have turned my face to that Being who has created the skies and the Earth in the state of the Straight Deen of Ibrahim – and I am not amongst the Mushrikeen. Definitely, my Salaat, my Ibadat and my living and dying is all for Allah, who is the Lord of the worlds, and who has no partner. I have been ordered (all that passed) I am amongst the Muslimeen (the obedient). O Allah this sacrifice is due to You granting us the ability to do so and it is for You”. ~Mishkat
