A rare traditional Muharram procession was taken out in the world-famous Dal Lake in Srinagar of Jammu and Kashmir on the occasion of Muharram, the day before Ashura, marking the martyrdom of Imam Hussain.
Notably, the procession is more than 184 years old. A lot of Shia Muslim mourners from parts of the valley joined Muharram processions in the interiors of Dal Lake in Srinagar on the Muharram.
Mourners assembled at Rainawari, from where they initiated the processions on wooden boats in the interiors of Dal from Rainawari to Kaenkech.
Speaking to media outlets, mourners said: “Whoever sees this feels a sense of peace. It is a different sort of experience when these boats float with the flag. It is very unique. Wherever there is injustice happening in the world, Imam Hussain’s teachings must be preached.”
