Abstract
This chapter discusses Sayyid 'Abbas Sahib's move from Madras to the princely state of Hyderabad, the capital of the Sunni Asaf Jahi dynasty. 'Abbas Sahib was a renowned writer of marsiya poems commemorating the Battle of Karbala. He came to Hyderabad seeking the patronage of the fifth Asaf Jahi Nizam, Afzal al-Dawlah Bahadur. The observance of Muharram has flourished in Hyderabad since the establishment of the Shi'i Qutb Shahi dynasty in 1512 ce. The mehndi mourning assembly has been celebrated with much enthusiasm in Hyderabad since the reign of 'Abdullah Qutb Shah, who commissioned the construction of the Alava-ye Qasem shrine in Yaqutpura, a neighborhood in the Shi'i section of the Old City. As he did in his former home city of Madras, 'Abbas Sahib discovered a reverence for Qasem and the mehndi ritual among the Shi'a of Hyderabad.
