Sabils or water fountains for those taking part in the processions during Muharram.
In Mumbai and India, it's always clay pots that keep water cool that's used, not plastic water container.

Auto Art provides shelter for an old Sabeel that's working hard even after retirement. They are usually put up during Muharram but I thirst and thirsty people are a year round thing.

My breakfast was the prasad at a Muharram puja.
