Wali) 6. Masjid Ahle Sunnat 7. Shiv Mandir 8. Maharshi Valmiki Mindir Azadari in Sankhni The Mourning of Muharram (also known as the Remembrance of Muharram or Muharram Observances) is a set of commemoration rituals observed by Shia Muslims, as well as some non-Muslims. The commemoration falls in Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. Many of the events associated with the ritual take place in congregation halls known as Hussainia. The event marks the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala (AD 680/AH 61), when Imam Hussein ibn Ali, a grandson of Prophet Muhammad, was killed by the forces of the second Umayyad caliph. Family members and companions accompanying him were killed or subjected to humiliation. The commemoration of this event during the yearly mourning season, with the Day of Ashura as the focal date, serves to define Shia communal identity. Muharram observances are carried out in countries with a sizable Shia population. Shia Muslims mourn during Muharram, although Sunnis and Non Muslims do so to as much lesser extent. Sankhni is well known for Azadari and Muharram Juloos,for example Sham-e Ghariban shab-e dari/Majlis on the eve of every 11th muharram at Karbala. Town have many Dargah and Karbala.
