Muharram

Today was an unbelievable day of my life, I was on an assignment to shoot the Moharram grief rally at Momin Pora. Witnessed these unbelievable and scary scenes.
It was Aashura, the day Imam Hussain was killed. It was One of the most challenging assignment of the year.


During Muharram people cry loudly, beat their chests, and are in grief during this period. People enact plays and dances to make people recall the sufferings of Imam Hussain and his followers. They enact the battle scenes of Karbala war. Muharram is the sacred celebration. Remembrance of goodness and respect for Imam Hussain is the true meaning of Muharram.
