Shiite Muslims Mark 9th Muharram
Shiite Muslim devotees gather to touch and pay respects to a Zuljanah, a horse symbolizing the stallion ridden by Imam Hussein, during a religious procession marking the 9th of Muharram inside the historic Nisar Haveli in the Walled City of Lahore, Pakistan, on June 25, 2026. Thousands of mourners assemble at the historic venue to participate in the traditional rituals ahead of Ashura, which commemorates the seventh-century martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, at the Battle of Karbala.
