Sometimes they make a fire outside of Imambara in a hole to remember the tyranny exposed by the enemies of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] to [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]]; as they set their tents on fire. They also walk on fiery coals barefooted as a part of their traditions. In contrary to Imambaras like Asaf al-Dawla, not all the Imambaras have a special part for women which is dedicated only to women at special times. | ||
There are decorated small rooms as a symbol of Imam al-Husayn's (a) coffin which are regarded significantly important in such mourning ceremonies in Imambara. The coffin is called Ta'ziya in [[India]]. Imambara also has a permanent mausoleum (a symbolic grave) which is called Karbala. Different groups of people go to Imambara while they are mourning and holding 'alam ({{ia|عَلَم}}, flag) and they have Ta'ziya on their shoulders. | There are decorated small rooms as a symbol of Imam al-Husayn's (a) coffin which are regarded significantly important in such mourning ceremonies in Imambara.
