Asura, means "ten" in Arabic language, is an old tradition of Shia Muslims. Huseyin, grandchild of Prophet Mohammed, had killed by other Muslims while he was tracking the desert Kerbela on 10th Muharrem (a month in muslim calendar). Many others, even little children from his family, also killed that day. In muslim calendar, every year on '10th Muharrem', Shia people come together to mourn and remember that unhappy occurence, and bring their children with them, in order to hand this tradition on to the next generations. These photos were taken by me, at this year's memorial ceremony in Istanbul.
