This time I again
got chance to go to Almora. Reason was Muharram, The 10th day of Muharram is known as Ashura all over the
world. Muslims highly respect the significance of this day and commemorate the
death of Imam Hussain in Battle of Karbala by the army of the tyrant Yazid. My friend told me – On this occasion, Taziyas,
an effigy of Imam Hussain’s mausoleum, made in Almora, are very special, decorative
and beautiful.
I reached
Almora by 12 noon. After some rest, I moved to market. Almora is a historical place and very rich
for its wooden architect work, which I always love to see. When I was strolling
in the city, I saw so many houses with wooden architect. Some of them are still
intact and maintained but many of them are now going to destroy.
I was
strolling and taking pictures. I noticed
many people were indulging in playing cards, which is very favorite time-pass
here. There was not very much
hustle-bustle in market because of Sunday.
I came
across with first Taziya. Taziya artist were giving it final touch. When I saw
it I got excited to see them in night because I came to know that they
illuminated when it becomes dark. After this I saw 3 more Taziya all were about
to ready for the evening parade.
Here not
only Muslims but Hindus Also participates in this procession. Even many Hindu take parts in making of
Taziya also. Taziya made from paper and
wood and can be different in shape and size but every Taziya should have a
Tomb, Which I came to know from school going girl Shaheen.
Each Taziya
takes atleast one month to get complete and each Taziya cost almost 25 thousand
rupees. By the 5.30 it became chaotic
and every Taziya were collecting in one place. Taziyas were illuminating in night,
which were looking very beautiful.

Time seems to be passing slowly at this place. The colors of Taziya and the antiquity of the wooden architecture are contrasting. Sorry to hear some of decayed wooden architecture are neglected, hope they be protected.
