Muharram - A Tribute to Hussain
Those painful cries of "Hussain, Hussain" of the people in the procession wearing black clothes are the most Devotional.
Muhharam is the first month of Islamic Hijrah calendar and one of the four sacred months in the whole year. The 10th Day of the month is named "Youm-e-Ashoora" or Ashurah. It was on this day that Imam Hussein Ali, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad was killed in the battle of Karbala along with 72 damily and followers in 1680AD in Iraq.
The followers of Shiasm mourn for 68 days in remembrance of the tragedy. The mourning culminates on the Ashura day.
Yet Again this year, Im lucky to capture the event
