Ashura, the 10th day of the first month of the Islamic calendar, Muharram, is the climax of the mourning processions for Imam Hussein (PBUH), a grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his true companions, who were martyred in the modern-day Iraqi city of Karbala by the forces of the second Umayyid caliph, Yazid.

The exhibition will run through August 22.
