Next in the order of procession I observe a man in deep mourning, supporting a black pole, on which two swords are suspended from a bow reversed--the swords unsheathed glittering in the sun. The person who owns the banners, or his deputy, follows next on foot, attended by readers of the Musseeah, and a large party of friends in mourning. The readers select such passages as are particularly applicable to the part Abass Ali took in the affair at Kraabaallah, which is chanted at intervals, the procession pausing for that purpose. Then comes Dhull Dhull,[7]--the name of Hosein's horse at Kraabaallah;--that selected for the present purpose is a handsome white Arab, caparisoned according to the olden style of Arabia: due care is taken to represent the probable sufferings of both animal and rider, by the bloody horsecloth--the red-stained legs--and the arrows apparently sticking in several parts of his body; on the saddle is fixed a turban in the Arabian style, with the bow and arrows;--the bridle, &c. are of very rich embroidery; the stirrups and mountings of solid silver. The horse and all its attire are given after Mahurrum, in charity, to a poor Syaad. Footmen, with the afthaadah[8] and chowrie[9]--peculiar emblems of royalty in India--attend Dhull Dhull. The friends of the family walk near the horse; then servants of all classes, to fill up the parade, and many foot-soldiers, who occasionally fire singly, giving to the whole description a military effect. I have seen many other processions on these fifth days of Mahurrum--they all partake of one style,--some more splendid than others; and the very poor people parade their banners, with, perhaps, no other accompaniment than a single drum and fife, and the owner supporting his own banner. My next letter will contain the procession of Mayndhie, which forms a grand feature of Mahurrum display on the seventh night. P.S.--The Najoomee are men generally with some learning, who, for their supposed skill in astrology, have, in all ages since Mahumud's death, been more or less courted and venerated by the Mussulmaun people;--I should say, with those who have not the fear of God stronger in their hearts than the love of the world and its vanities;--the really religious people discountenance the whole system and pretended art of the astrologer.
