This paper explores the unique architectural spaces known as Imam Bargah or Marak in the Shia Islamic civilization, specifically in Kashmir. Unlike other Islamic spaces like mosques and shrines, these structures provide spaces for worship, social service, and mourning during Muharram. The study delves into their history, influences, and contributions to society. The development of such spaces is analysed across different periods and regions, highlighting the significance of applied decoration in Islamic architecture. The architecture in Kashmir is influenced by local needs and traditions, reflecting its diverse identity. The Imam Bargahs in Kashmir are examined, including their historical and religious importance, unique features, and cultural significance.
