I was in Hyderabad about 4 years back for Moharam Ashura this festival of the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain is as intense as it can get.. the Hyderabadi Shias celebrate Moharram with a fervour that has its own cultural peculiarity, everyone wears black clothes for 2 months 8 days, it is Majlis and Marsiyas ..the Marsiyas too have a Hyderabadi flavour found no where else in India.
And every liitle child starts his Kama or forehead matam at a very singular young age, perhaps 6 months old.
This Bargah and Dr Baqar who owns it is the strength of Shiadom.. Dr Baqar is the father in law of my friend a devout Shia… Raju Mirza from Mumbai..
