Annual Majlis for Ladies

Every year on first Sunday after Chehlum a Majlis for ladies is held in the evening at Zainabia Imambada's first floor hall. After Majlis a replica of the Tabut of Janab-e-Zainab (a.s.) is taken out. This Majlis is organised by Janab Shahzade Abbas (Kite flying international champion). The Zainabia hall could not accommodate such a huge crowd of the lovers & kaneez of Hadhrat Zainab (a.s.). Abbasbhai has always been generous in the distribution of Tabarruk. Last evening he distributed along with chicken cutlets, a colourful Chador, one tasbeeh & sajdagaah and a booklet of Hadees-e-Kisa. The image on the left is of the same tabarruk.
