Procession of Mohurrum at Bhendy Bazaar

Albumen print mounted on card
7.5 x 9.25 in (19 x 23.3 cm)

Moharram, the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is significant for Shia Muslims as it commemorates Imam Hussain's martyrdom in the Battle of Karbala. Shia Muslims participate in mourning rituals, including processions which usually involve large gatherings of people, and participants often express their grief and solidarity by beating their chests, reciting elegies, and carrying Taziyas (symbolic replicas of the tomb of Imam Hussain). Bhendi Bazaar, a vibrant Muslim marketplace in Mumbai, hosts these processions, involving large gatherings and expressing grief and solidarity.

The historical roots of these observances in Bhendi Bazaar can be traced back to the colonial period and even earlier when Muslim communities settled in the area. Over the years, the tradition has likely evolved and become an integral part of the local culture and religious practices.
