A traditional Tazia procession began on Sunday morning in Dhaka, following the commemoration of Holy Ashura. The procession started from the historic Hoseni Dalan Imambara after 10 AM, drawing thousands of Shia Muslims dressed in black to mourn the martyrdom of Imam Hussain at the Battle of Karbala.

Participants carried symbolic weapons and flags, moving through Azimpur, Nilkhet, New Market, and Science Lab before concluding in Dhanmondi. The century-old Imambara saw large gatherings from early morning. Law enforcement agencies deployed heavy security throughout the procession route, with personnel stationed at the front, middle, and end of the procession to ensure safety.

Ashura is observed annually by Shia Muslims in remembrance of the martyrs of Karbala.
