Keeping up with the tradition, Muslims in Kashmir have observed the mid-Shaban ceremonies with tremendous solemnity and fervor. Thousands of devotees thronged shrines and mosques across this Muslim majority region last night to celebrate the 15th day of the month of Shaban. The day marks the birth anniversary of the 12th Shia Imam and the savior of humanity, Hazrat Imam Mehdi (peace be upon him).
