Thousands of Kashmiri Muslims on Sunday took out processions in parts of the valley to commemorate the 25th Muharram Jaloos, dedicated to Imam Zainul Abideen (AS).

The main processions were taken out in Srinagar’s Shalimar area, Budgam, Pattan Baramulla along with other places.

The streets were adorned with black flags and banners, reflecting the somber occasion of the 25th Muharram and the significance of Imam Zainul Abideen (AS), who was the son of Imam e Husain and the only male survivor at Karbala.

The annual Muharram Jaloos serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Imam and his companions, evoking emotions of grief, reflection, and unity.

Two of the largest gathering was held in Baramulla, which was addressed by Moulana Masroor Ansar and Moulana Iftikhar Ansari.
