The shrine of '''Hussain Tekri''' was built in the 19th century by Mohammad Iftikhar Ali Khan Bahadur, the [[Nawab]] of [[Jaora]]. It is situated on the outskirts of the town of [[Jaora]] in the [[Ratlam]] district of [[Malwa]] region of [[Madhya Pradesh]], India.<br />
<br />
Mohammad Iftikhar Ali Khan Bahadur was buried in the same graveyard where Hussain Tekri is built. During the month of [[Muharram]], thousands of people visit the shrines of [[Husayn ibn Ali|Imam Hussain]] here, which is a replica of the ones in [[Iraq]]. The shrine is known for ''Hazri'' rituals intended to cure mental ailments.<br />
<br />
An unsubstantiated story tells that one night a horse rider were seen at the site of the future shrine; and the riders were said to be the souls of martyrs killed in the [[Battle of Karbala]]. It is also believed that a water pond was also created overnight, which never existed before. [[Barelvis]], [[Shia Islam|Shia]], Sunnis, and Hindus visit the shrine to get relief from [[jinn]]s, ghosts and demons, believing that all such creatures ultimately surrender before the shrine and leave the bodies of the victims.<br />
<br />
This place has a long history of curing people believed to be incurably ill. It has 6 shrines in its vicinity. From the entrance, Fatima Al Zehra (daughter of Mohammed), Imam Al-Hussain (son of Ali), Zainab (daughter of Ali), Al-Abbas (son of Ali), Sakina (daughter of Imam Hussain) and Imam Al-Ali (son of Abu Talib and cousin, son-in-law of Mohammed).<br />
<br />
Nawab Mohammad Iftikhar Ali Khan Bahadur, Nawab Unman Ali Khan and his younger brother Nawab Usman Ali Khan Tomb are buried in the shrine of Imam Hussain in Hussain Tekri.<br />
