This particular graveyard saw its last burial in 1985, and was reserved exclusively for the funeral of tazias, the ritual coffins of Imam Husian Ibn Ali, the prophet’s grandson. The graves, few and far between, are covered with tasseled silk, broken in half, and even have plants growing out of them. Although located a short walk from IHC and three bustling market places, you’ll be uncomfortable if you’re there past sunset. Something about how isolated it is, and the birds retiring for the day doesn’t help its eerie setting.
