Azerbaijan Azerbaijani Baku Drummer Islam Islamic Marching Processing Procession

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Old Chaksei-Vakhsei Procession, an intriguing historical event in Baku, Azerbaijan. The exact meaning of this procession, which has sadly been lost in the mists of time, is shrouded in mystery. What is known, however, is that it was a significant Islamic tradition involving children, drummers, and colorful banners. The image showcases a group of young boys, their faces filled with excitement and wonder, as they march in unison, drumming rhythmically on traditional Azerbaijani drums. The drums, an integral part of Azerbaijani culture, are believed to have been used to announce the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad in the city of Baku. The procession is further adorned with an array of vibrant banners, each bearing intricate Islamic designs and calligraphy. These banners, which are a testament to the rich Islamic heritage of Azerbaijan, add a sense of grandeur and solemnity to the event. The Old Chaksei-Vakhsei Procession was an important religious and cultural tradition in Baku, showcasing the unique blend of Islamic and Azerbaijani influences. It served as a reminder of the city's rich history and the deep-rooted connection between its people and their faith. Today, this tradition may no longer be practiced in its original form, but the memories and stories passed down through generations continue to keep the spirit of the Old Chaksei-Vakhsei Procession alive in the hearts and minds of the people of Baku and Azerbaijan.
