I surprised to see the crowd on the rooftop on Ashura day. Later I was told that they believe that manasek-e Ashura (the ritual of Ashura day) must been done in an open space, as this mosque doesn't have a courtyard they use the rooftop for the ritual.
مراسم ظهر عاشورا بر بام مسجد امامیه، محله دونگری، ممبای، دسامبر ۲۰۱۰.ازمیان آرشیوم
از دیدن جمعیت در پشت بام مسجد متعجب شدم، بعدا به من گفته شد که برخی معتقدند مراسم ظهر عاشورا (شامل خواندن دعای روز عاشورا) باید زیر آسمان و در فضای باز انجام شود چون این مسجد حیاط ندارد، مراسم را بر بام مسجد اجرا میکردند
