Muharram is the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar, marking the new year for the Muslim community. It is considered the second holiest month in the Islamic calendar after Ramadan. The month is also observed as the remembrance of the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad.

The initial 10 days of Muharram are considered the mourning period, of which the 10th day is marked as Ashura when the mourning period comes to an end. While the Sunni community marks the day by fasting, somem members of the Shia community also involve in self-flagellation, in a bid to recreate the suffering experienced by Hazrat Imam Hussain during the battle. This year July 29 marks the day of Ashura.
