How often do Iranians go to heyats?

A review of the fourth wave of the Survey of Iranians' Values and Attitudes

It makes no difference whether it is a small tekyeh or a large gathering in the city center; when the sound of Muharram reaches the ear, when a mourning gathering is set up, wherever we go, we have become guests at the rawzeh and mourning ceremony of Imam Hussein (AS). But perhaps the question has also occurred to you: how much do the people of Iran take part in mourning ceremonies and heyats?

On the basis of the fourth wave of the Survey of Iranians' Values and Attitudes, in which respondents were asked, "How much do you usually take part in heyats and mourning ceremonies?" 81.1 percent of respondents said that they go to heyats and mourning ceremonies.

Also, a comparative look at previous waves of the Survey of Iranians' Values and Attitudes shows that people's presence at heyats and mourning ceremonies has always had an increasing trend, and people's participation in heyats and mourning ceremonies has gone from 77 percent in the third wave to 81.1 percent in the fourth wave.
