Massive panic was created among the thousands gathered for the procession. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident as the power supply was cut off.
The video shows three towering Tazias, approximately 170 feet tall, often made of bamboo and decorated with vibrant, colourful paper and fabrics, during the religious event. One of them, however, begins to tilt and eventually collapses, breaking apart as it falls.
Following the incident, police station in-charge Deepak Tiwari arrived at the scene to assess the situation. He confirmed that conditions were stable and under control following the accident.
Muharram is the second sacred month in the Islamic calendar after Ramadan. This year, it started on June 27, initiating 10 days of mourning for Muslims. The period commemorates the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain, the son of Hazrat Ali and grandson of Prophet Muhammad.
