Maulana Yasoob Abbas at Kaiser Bagh

Before the Majlis begins the kids decorate the alams, run helter skelter.But once Maulana Yasoob Abbas son of Maulana Athar Saab Mirza sits on the Mimber , seriousness enters the chaos..this is a short Majlis on Hazrat Qasim, before it can get over the Juloos starts its rounds , the scourgings the kama matam, begins in the centre space that soon gets totally jampacked..
Shooting all this is impossible I shot most of it from a dias behind the podium..and later jumped down to shoot from below.
I was stuck with my 80-200 Nikon lens that was not coming out of the Nikon D70 mount , so shooting the Kama Matam was a total disaster.
