A latmiyat ( لطميات . ) is a Muharram ritual expressing grief through poetry with thumping of the chest, usually done by Shia muslims. While it is known as latmiya, latmaya, or latmia in Arabia-Persian countries, it is known in India and Pakistan as matam or matam-dari/sina zani (chest beating).[1][2] A latmiyat may also incorporate clapping, which expresses joy, while chest-thumping expresses sadness. Latmiyas are often done in remembrance of the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad.[2][3]
