Iran's Shiite Muslims Commemorate The Mourning Day Of Ashoura
An elderly Iraqi man living in Iran is singing a religious song while the other men are playing traditional musical instruments during a religious festival to commemorate Ashura in the 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.
