Shahab Naseri @shakonaseri - Ashura Day⁠ Reportage and Documentary 2019 Finalist⁠ @LuganoPhotoDays 2019⁠ •⁠ Ashura, the 10th day of Moharam in A.H. calendar, is a holy day for Muslims. The significance of the day to Shiite is due to the Ashura events taken place in 61 A.H. (Karbala incident) when Imam Hussein (the son of Imam Ali), the third Imam of Shiite, was martyred along with his fellows and supporters. Every year in order to honor him a magnificent ceremony is held among Shiite Muslims. Bijar is a small city in the west of Iran in Kurdistan Province. Ashura in Bijar has a more different and more splendid form than in other parts of the world.⁠⁠ •⁠ Click link ⁠in bio for details.⁠ •⁠ •⁠ #luganophotodays #photocontest #luganoaward #reportage #documentary #photooftheday
