More than 20 lakh Muslims from 160 countries around the world have performed the Hajj in the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. In addition to that, the return of Hajis to their countries also started. Meanwhile, a picture is getting viral on social media in which some uniformed men are lying on the ground.

The picture has been posted through a Facebook account by the name of Soan Kashmir. This picture has received more than 100 comments on Facebook.

It seems to the users that this picture belongs to this year’s Hajj. Users are also giving blessings to security personnel.
