At our house during Moharam, my daughter has a Majlis of Bibi Sakina and at end of the Majlis her Anjuman girls carry the Taboot of Bibi Sakina around the house.
Now all our Shia neigbors borrow this Taboot and have this auspicious event at their homes too.This is the first sucj Majlis in Marziya Shakirs life, and she is getting used to the mourning period too, dressed in black.
Marziya goes to the various Majlis with her mother and her grandmother.

Bibi Sakina was the three old daughter of Imam Hussain who after her fathers death had to uffer lot of ignominy under Yazids Anti-Islamic regime.
She died prematurely at Damascus..also known as Sham.
