'''Hussainiya''' is a rather recent name for public buildings in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon that are used by the [[Shi'a]] for mourning ceremonies, especially during the months of [[Muharram]] and Safar (the first two months in the Muslim calender) wherein the [[martyrdom]] of [[Husayn b. Ali]], grandson of the Prophet, is mourned. Hussainiyas are mainly of austere architecture and generally built according to a similar design as that of a karvansara. “Their basic requirement is a large amount of space, open or covered, in which to perform the Muharram ceremonies, and lodgings for visiting participants. Thus, the lodgings are built around a courtyard (maydan), which contains the stage, in the form of a square or circular platform (saku)”. <ref>“Hosayniya”. Encyclopedia Iranica. March 23, 2012.
