Muharram in Kashmir

In Kashmir, the Islamic month of Muharram is observed with deep reverence, particularly by the Shia Muslim community, who commemorate the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali at the Battle of Karbala. The observance, called Azadari-i-Muharram, is marked by processions, rituals, and expressions of grief and solidarity. However, the practice has faced historical challenges, including restrictions and bans, which have influenced its manifestation in the region.
