06 July 2025, India, Srinagar: Thousands of shia mourners participate in Ashura procession in Srinagar. Shiite mourners commemorate Ashoura by engaging in a ritual of self-flagellation, chest beating and covering themselves in mud to mark the killing of Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Hussein. This distinctive expression of grief, unique to Shiite tradition, stands in contrast to Muslim Sunni practices, leer más which eschew such acts of self-flagellation, chest beating and covering themselves in mud, citing the Prophet Muhammad's injunction against the degradation of the human body.
