Rawdakhwani is Shii Persian mourning ritual commemorating the suffering and martyrdom of Imam Husayn and other Shii martyrs. The name of this public lamentation is derived from the title of a literary masterpiece called Rawdat al-Shuhada (The Garden of the Martyrs). This book, written in Persian but under an Arabic title, was composed by Husayn Waiz Kashifî. Originally, it was customary to recite or chant a chapter from The Garden of the Martyrs in public each day during the first ten days of the month of Muharram. Gradually, it was staged during the whole month of Muharram and the following month of Safar, eventually to be performed all year round. Today, the original text has been almost abandoned as each person who does the recitation tries his own creative skills in conjuring up the story.
