Ashura is a holiday and not a ritual, Sunnis mourn it by fasting Ashura and the day before (or after) while the Twelvers mourn the day with the sickening way shown in your post.
You should read more about them Twelvers, I assure you these pictures would seem lovely afterward

I was watching a documentary today about muslim extremism and this ritual actually made me feel physically sick. The ritual is called Ashoura.
