'Shab-e-Baraat' is an important Muslim holiday celebrated on the 14th night of the Islamic month of Shaaban. The festival of Shab-e-Baraat has great religious significance to Muslims for a number of reasons, and is observed as a night of salvation and deliverance. Apart from night-long prayers, many Muslims visit the graves of their ancestors on the night of 'Shab-e-Baraat'.
