The 4 emerging Marsiya Reciters of Karari

In the past Karari had number of expert Marsiya recitors who new their art very well. The high and low pitch of their voice. They created such a descriptive scene of Karbala that the audience visualised the battle. The reciters mesmerised the audience. Also they had the audience support as they knew the Urdu language well and understood the Persian words. MeerAnees, Mirza Dabeer, Meer Monis etc. were the sources of Marsiya. Their Maraasie gave a new dimension to Azadaari. The shortage of Zakereen gave opportunities to local Marsiya reciters. The villages depended wholly on Maraasie in their Majalis.
Unfortunately, this art has been diminishing. For Karari, Mr. Hamid Rizvi had been the saviour of Marsiya recitation. He is one of the best Marsiya reciters of India and the best in Allahabad district. May Allah give him long life and health that he remains fit enough to revive this art.
The light at the end of the tunnel is that few of the souls of Karari have shown interest in Marsiya recitation. Though, they lack in the proper method of recitation, but as we know that practice leads to perfection, InshaAllah we hope that they will carry this holy mantle on their shoulders. Last Moharram (last month), the persons involved in Marsiya recitation in Karari were Mr. Aun Mohammad Rizvi, Mr. Javed Rizvi, Mr. Rehan Rizvi & Mr. Sardar Husain Rizvi (Nayyar). The photos of these personalities is seen above, but, I could not get the photograph of Mr. Rehan Rizvi to upload. To save this art of Marsiya recitation the great help and support is the.............audience. I hope they will save this art by fully appreciating, promoting and attending the Majalis to hear these blessed ones.

The Lamps of the Dawn

Back from Hajj

Dear readers salaam
I am back from Hajj. This blog was inactive due to my journey. Inshaallah there will be lots of stuffs in regard to Hajj and Moharram.

Ashraf Bhai

He is Husain Ashraf known to his colleagues as Pyare Raza. He was ill and had been hospitalised for 5-6 days in Bandra, Bombay. He loves Karari and tries to be over there during the first 15 days of Moharram. He arranges and manages the Majalis of Moharram at "Deputy Saheb ka Imambada". Please pray for his good health. He has been for Hajj in the year 2004 and also traveled to Syria, Iran & Iraq for Ziyaraat. The pilgrimage has changed his life. You can call him on the phone 26431725.

My Dear Uncle

He is the elder brother of my late father Sayed Ghulam Hasnain Rizvi Kararvi. His name is Sayed Ghulam Sibtain Rizvi. He lives in Karari permanently. He is well versed in Urdu literature and quotes the couplets as per the situation. One of the qualities he has is the sense of humour. The other features of his personalities are that he led congregational prayers & recites Marsiyas. But, the specialty is his calligraphy in Urdu language. He has written Jaushan-e-Kabeer on many shrouds (kafan). The family of late Sayed Amir Ali is proud of him. He has trained his son Shoeb Salman and grandson the art of reciting Marsiyas. May Allah increase his life span and always puts him up in good health.

Some Pictures of Karbala

The 4 wheeler vehicles are not allowed some 500 metres near the Shrines of Imam Husain (a.s.) and Hazrat Abbas (a.s.) due to security reasons. So the 3 wheelers such as tempos carry passengers around the shrines.
