Pilgrims Flock to Mina for Intense Hajj Ritual. Over a million Muslim devotees have gathered in the holy city of Mina, Saudi Arabia, to participate in the pivotal stone-throwing ritual, a cornerstone of the Hajj pilgrimage. On the third day of the sacred journey, pilgrims, clad in simple white garments, are converging on the Jamarat complex to reenact the ancient tradition of stoning the devil, a symbolic gesture of defiance against evil. As the crowds surge forward, the ritual is expected to be a poignant and emotional experience for those taking part in one of Islam's most sacred rituals.
