9 Moharam Byculla Mumbai 2011

9 Moharam Byculla Mumbai 2011, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

This is my new set at Flickr.com , I shot this on 9 Moharam a day before Ashura , but I had kept these pictures on hold ,I instead posted the Ashura event at Amin Imambada , the Ashura road juloos from JJ Hospital junction to Mazgaon.. and lat the Shame Garibab recited by Maulana Yasoob Abbas at Rehmatabad Shia cemetery followed by hardcore hard hitting sword matam kama matam and zanjir zani.

The 9 moharam is the event shot at Jalal Mamus venue next to Byculla station , Jalal Mamu is one of the greatest matamdars along with Ali Shah of Mumbai.

My friends Dr Glenn Losack MD and Kim Viola from Demark shot this too, Glenn left soon after and Kim Viola and me walked from here to Honda junction Byculla and shot the 9 Moharam event there , we walked from here barefeet all this while till Moghul Masjid , Kim and Viola left I shot Fotowat and Amin Imambada.

And finally at 11 pm or much later I shot hardcore matam at Kaisar Bagh that will be included in the Kaisar Bagh set... this is a very long series .
