The Nakhl-Gardani ceremony in Mazinan, Razavi Khorasan, Iran, takes place every year on Ashura. A monumental ceremonial nakhl, symbolizing the funeral of the martyrs of Karbala, is carried through the village by a large gathering of mourners. The centuries-old ritual brings together religious devotion, local tradition, collective memory, and communal participation. Here, the scale of the crowd and the raised hands surrounding the nakhl transform the ceremony into a powerful visual expression of shared grief and cultural identity.
