The present research method is qualitative and uses a combination of theoretical, structural-functional and interpretive approaches. The statistical population included religious groups of the Azeri and Lor ethnic groups living in Tehran and activists of the mourning groups, to the extent that 20 people (10 Lor and 10 Azeri) were selected as the sample population through qualitative interview method and the data were analyzed using content analysis method. The findings showed that the similarities (participation, interaction, solidarity and sympathy) of the mourning rituals of the Iranian Azeri and Lor ethnic groups in the month of Muharram have a social dimension and form, and there is general participation and complete solidarity in the behaviors of the participants, and such behaviors create joint actions that over time have removed it from individuality and given it a collective form, and the dominant similarity is the simultaneity and smell of the rituals. Also, the differences (methods, methods, religious beliefs) of mourning rituals show that there are two major differences in the mourning rituals of the two ethnic groups under study: a) Differences in the method and method of mourning: the use of the type of tools and implements, where the Azeris use wood and ax in the procession of Shah Hussein and Ahsin; but the Lors use the chamar instrument, drums, and cymbals; b) Type of religious beliefs: The Azeris believe in the plurality of delegations in terms of their scope and diversity; but the Lors are usually centralized, and in this regard, for example, the number of Lor delegations is very limited compared to the number of Azeris in Tehran.
