Srinagar: Amid restrictions, Ashura processions were taken out in different parts of the Kashmir Valley on the eve of 10th Muharram, marking the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and 72 martyrs at Karbala (Iraq) for the protection of Islam.

Small groups of the mourners, most of them bare-footed, were seen striking sharp edged blades and knives on various body parts. Apart from make shift tents, ambulances with doctors, para-medics and medicines were kept ready at the place by the state administration.
Many devotees were seen touching Zuljannah with reverence while several were seen passing the young children under it.
People, especially from Sunni sect, were also seen offering refreshments including special drinks and food to the mourners.
The second major procession was reported at Imambara of Mirgund and it after passing through various lanes and by-lanes, would end at the historic Imambara of Budgam in the central Kashmir.
A large procession was also taken from Babapora Magam which culminated at Ahmadpora in the Budgam.
