I must confess my travel agent had goofed when he booked my tickets to shoot Moharam in Hyderabad I was to reach Hyderabad on 8 Moharam late night , and I was keen to shoot the Hussaini Kothi procession , that I had shot in 2003 and had named it Nawab Kothi by mistake.

I again re booked my tickets and my waiting list was 178 , but it did not bother me seat or no seat I wanted to shoot Hussaini Kothi to dedicate it to the soul of Late Nawab Rashid Ali Khan the patriarch who took good care of me was hospitable and I never forgot him or his hospitality.

And so my new set at Flickr is my humble tribute as a photographer to him , this blue blooded Nawab , seeping in the humility of the teachings and life of Imam Hussain..

And the 8 Moharam procession at Hussaini Kothi takes you back into old time Hyderabadi Nawabi charm..dont miss it ever..

The present Nawabs their families were again there as host and unfortunately to my bad luck my battery and charger of my Nikon camera failed I had to leave teary eyed without informing any of them..though on my departure I did inform Ghazanfer Ali Khan son of Rashid Nawab Saab.
I once again thank each and everyone connected to Hussaini Kothi for helping me around and making me feel at home..

Also dont miss my pictures of the Nawabs little kids doing Adab to all those who came for their Majlis and juloos..head bowed they greeted everyone with sheer love and sincerity ..yes they carry their traditions on their frail shoulders..and their children will do the same when their turn comes..

Thank you Ghazanfer Saab for your Invitation into your humble abode...I am indebted to you for all time..
