As the name suggests, this is a buffet for monkeys. Monkeys feast at this annual event in Thailand where over 3,000 kgs of fruits and vegetables are on display for the monkeys to gorge on in Lopburi, Bangkok.
Muharram is the annual celebration which commemorates the death of Muhammad’s grandson Hussain. He was killed along with 72 warriors at the Battle of Karbala. In a rather bizarre custom, people go on mourning processions to remember their sacrifice and whip themselves using chains to honour the sacrifice.
