Eid al-Adha is commemorated with different names in different languages and different cultures, also with cultural influences.
It is a name that is common all over the world, which is read in Arabic as Iyd-el Adha. While it is called Eid al-Adha in Turkish, in India and Pakistan the holiday is usually called Bakra Eid, which means "Goat Feast"; in these countries, the animal that is often sacrificed is a goat. Bakra Eid is a name also used in South Africa. The common names used in Bangladesh are Id-ul-Azha and Korbani Id. Similar to the Turkish name, it is also referred to as Koç bayram in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, and Kurban Bajram in Albania. He is known as Babbar Sallah in Nigeria, Ciidwayneey in Somalia and in the Somali-speaking regions of Kenya and Ethiopia.

There is also a Story about Where the Feast of Sacrifice came from;
According to the Tanakh, Abraham did not have a child with his wife Sarah, and if Abraham had a child with Sarah, he dedicated it as a Sacrifice to Allah. Allah said, "Take Isaac, your only begotten son, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriya, and offer your son as a burnt offering on a mountain that I will show you there.", Abraham said, "My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering". The two of them continued to walk together. When Abraham arrived at the place that Allah had indicated to him, he built an altar and placed wood on it. He tied up his son Isaac and laid him on the wood on the altar. He reached out to strangle her and took the knife. But the angel of the Lord said from heaven, "Abraham, Abraham!" he called out. Ibrahim said, "Here I am!" he responded. The angel said, "Do not touch the child, do not do anything to him. Now I understand that you are afraid of Allah, you did not spare your only son from me." When Abraham looked around, he saw a ram whose horns were stuck in dense bushes. He went and brought the coach. He offered her as a burnt offering in place of his son."(Genesis: 22:2-8-9-10-11-12-13)

For Turkey;
The Eid prayer is performed 45 minutes after the sunrise. Victims are usually cut off on the first day. The meat obtained is divided into three equal parts; one third is distributed to the relatives of the sacrificer, and one third to the poor. The remaining third is left to the family of the victim.Dishes made from the meat of the slaughtered victim are served to the guests during the feast. Acquaintances and relatives are visited, children are given pocket money, sweets and gifts.

In Turkey, a large number of animals are slaughtered every year during the Feast of Sacrifice. according to 2012 data, 753 thousand cattle and 1 million 930 thousand small animals were sacrificed in Turkey.

It is important for Muslims that the animal is HALAL. Muslims recite their prayers while slaughtering and make almost all of the animal's blood flow. This way, they don't have to hang upside down and wait for their blood to drain.

Also, Most Muslims do not eat the Testicular part of Animals. But the stomach and intestines are important to them. They make their food and also use it as soup in winter.
