On 9th Moharam before the maghrib prayeras all the Alams of the various Anjumans, all the Alams Taboots of Kaiser Bagh move into Byculla to celebrate Shabe Ashur , the night before Ashura or the Eve of Ashura.
As this place is a bylane larger than Kaiser Bagh , the place is equally packed as the Alams Zaris Taboot and Zuljana take their customary rounds.In the middle the Kama matam and Zanzir Matam takes place..
This is the most important Juloos of Moharam in Mumbai.. the largest ever ..
