Shab e Ashur Damam Inside chhota imam bargah kharadar karachi


Sinj and Damām (Persian: سِنج و دَمام) is a traditional mourning ritual practiced in southern parts of Iran, especially Bushehr. In this ritual, people hold a ceremony with playing Damam, Sinj, and horns. According to historical accounts, Sinj and Damam entered Bushehr from India or Tanzania (or Zanzibar).

History
It seems that Damam was originally “Dambam” (literally: at the edge of the roof) which was used in the past as a wake-up call. It is said that some people of Zanzibar or India brought Damam to Bushehr and used them in different wedding and mourning ceremonies until it became part of the mourning rituals. Some people have accounted for the association of Sinj or Damam with the religious rituals of people in Bushehr in terms of their belief that metal objects make the devil and the Jinn escape, and thus, when Damam, which is a sacred instrument, is played, the Sinj is also played to scare the devils away.

Occasions

Sinj and Damam are played in religious rituals, in addition to wedding and mourning ceremonies. Here are the religious rituals at which Damam and Sinj are played:

Announcing the dawn of the month of Ramadan
The demise of the Prophet Muhammad (s)
The night of the stroke on Imam 'Ali (a)
Mourning rituals of Muharram: Damam and Sinj are played since the Muharram 7th until the eve of Ashura
Martyrdom of Imam al-Sajjad (a)
Martyrdom of Imam al-Rida (a).
