Indian followers of Ahlul-Bayt perform fire ritual in mourning of Imam Hussein

This year too, the mourning ritual of fire was held in different Shia-populated areas of India with special splendor.
The mourning ritual of fire is one of the Shia mourning traditions in India and Pakistan.

In some areas, during Muharram, especially Ashura, pits are dug in front of the Imam Barahs (Ashura Khana) to host a fire around which mourning is performed.

These pits remind the mourners of the fire pits that were lit around the tents of Imam Hossein, peace be upon him.

During this ceremony, they shed tears of mourning for the oppression dealt to the Master of the Martyrs and his companions and his family who went into captivity.

These fires, at least in India, especially among the mass of people, both Hindu and Muslim, evoke a sense of wonder and profound respect.
Throughout the day, people stand in front of these fires and make vows to them, and during the night, they walk around it or walk over it with their bare feet, pulling burning pieces of wood from the fire, and spreading them.
