NEW DELHI, India: Al Wedayi (farewell) Hussaini majalis were continued in all Indian cities and towns on Monday February 22 Rabiul Awal 7 with due religious spirit and reverence.

2-month, eight-day-long Hussaini mourning period ends on Rabiul Awal 9.

On Monday, mourning processions, 'Masoom ka tazia', were taken out here to say good bye to the mourning days.

Men and women, dressed in black, mourned Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS)'s martyrdom, beating their chests and crying. They also held black flags and banners with praises to Hussain written on them.

The processions, which began early Monday, reached Jorbagh in south Delhi, housing a replica of Imam Hussain's shrine in Karbala. The shrine in Jorbagh is also called Karbala.

Since the route of the procession was through key areas in central Delhi like Ajmeri Gate, Connuaght Place, Parliament Street, Tughlak Road and Jorbagh, the Delhi administration had made arrangements during the day.
