For many people it is a different experience

The procession ends on the day of Ashura in Imambara Hasnabad in Srinagar, which is a symbol of the anniversary of the martyrdom of the Prophet’s grandson Hussain, his family and loyal companions in the desert of Karbala 1400 years ago. People who mourned were singing the condolences saying that the message of Imam Hussain is that no innocent person will die, even no animal.

Historically, these processions passed through Central Srinagar, especially by the traditional route from Abi Gujar to Jadibal, in which thousands of mourning people remembered the martyrdom of Imam Hussain through beating chests (mourning), mourning (nauha) and religious mantras.

Urge to celebrate the procession according to its religious significance

Some protesters also took pictures of many Iranian generals killed from Israel, including Hizbullah leader Hasan Nasrullah and General Sulemani. Since the Amarnath Yatra is also taking place at the same time, Bidhuri urged everyone to celebrate the Muharram procession according to its religious significance.
