Youths are walking past the tents that are set up as symbols of the tents of Imam Hussein and his family, while participating in a religious festival to commemorate Ashura in Dolatabad neighborhood in southern Tehran, Iran, on July 16, 2024. Ashura is a significant and sacred day in the Shi'ite calendar, marking the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who was killed in the 7th century Battle of Karbala.
