Srinagar, Jun 26: The Shia Muslim community across Kashmir observed Youm-e-Ashura, the 10th day of Muharram, with profound reverence, large-scale mourning processions, religious gatherings, and heartfelt recitations commemorating the sacrifice of Imam Hussain (AS), grandson of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and his 72 faithful companions in the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE (61 AH). The day symbolised not only mourning for the historical tragedy but also a universal call for justice, resistance against tyranny, and moral integrity.  Thousands of Azadars (mourners), clad in black attire, participated in synchronised processions featuring rhythmic chants of 'Ya Hussain,' Nohas (elegies), marsiya recitations, and the ceremonial carrying of Alams (banners), and replicas of Zuljanah, Imam Hussain (AS)'s horse. In Srinagar, the largest procession commenced early morning from BotaKadal in the old city.  It wound its way through key localities before culminating in the evening at the historic Imambargah at Zadibal.  Senior Shia clerics led the procession, delivering powerful sermons that highlighted Imam Hussain (AS)'s teachings, the values of sacrifice, and the enduring relevance of Karbala.  Community leaders joined in, stressing interfaith harmony and unity.
