- Legenda: SRINAGAR (India), 04/07/2025.- Shiite Muslim mourners take part in a religious procession on the 8th day of the Islamic month of Muharram, in the City Centre in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Kashmir, 04 July 2025. The authorities in Kashmir for the third year in a row allowed the processions from the City Centre on 8th Muharram, the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The Muharram processions were banned from the City Centre in 1989 at the outbreak of armed insurgency in the region, although Shiites used to bring out processions within localities and in the peripheries. Shiites observe the first 10 days of Muharram in mourning in remembrance of the martyrdom of Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, in Karbala in modern-day Iraq.
