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.
