A man holds a knife to a baby's head as he cuts the child during a Muharram procession in Ahmadabad, India
A Kashmiri Shiite Muslim boy flagellates himself during a Muharram procession in Srinagar in Indian controlled Kashmir
Gory: Shiite Muslims in Afghanistan have gathered to perform self-flagellation rituals as they mourn the death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson 1,300 years ago
Ritual: Photographs of the event show young men, bleeding profusely from their backs, while afterwards they help each other wash away blood coming from their wounds
Sharp: Even very small children swing the sharp blades on the end of chains, slashing their skin in the brutal ritual
Kashmiri Shiite Muslims flagellate themselves as they take part in a religious procession held on the seventh day of Islamic month of Muharram, in Srinagar
Kashmiri Shiite Muslim children flagellate themselves as they mourn the death of Imam Husain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad
After the ritual in Srinagar, men crouched down to display the blood on the knives they had used to cut themselves
Beliefs: The tradition is seen by some as a way of washing away their sins and is a national holiday in many countries with thousands taking part in the annual rituals. A national holiday in many countries, thousands take part in the annual rituals which include people whipping and cutting themselves with chains and knives
Ashura mourns the death of Imam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, who was killed by armies of the Yazid near Karbala in 680 AD. That event lies at the heart of Islam's divide into Shiite and Sunni sects.
Some Shi'ite leaders discourage self-mutilation and bloodletting, claiming it has no basis in early religious history and creates a negative image, and encourage people to donate blood instead
A young man kneels down and dabs at his wounds with a damp cloth after whipping himself with sharp blades. Thousands of men perform the same brutal practice in Lebanon, Bangladesh, Iraq, Pakistan and Myanmar and even Athens, Greece.
