Maharam festival in Kolkata

Muslim devotee strikes himself with a blade tied to a metal chain during the Maharam festival in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata, India on October 12, 2016. The last and tenth mourning day known as Ashura was observed throughout the country on Monday to commemorate the anniversary of the death of Hazrat Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad, killed along with his 72 companions more than 13 centuries ago in Iraq.
