I start a new set at Flickr - the Mahim Police Station sandal procession on the first day of the Makdoom Shah Baba Urus 2009.
I was invited by Senior Inspector Liaqat Shaikh of the Makhdoom Shah Baba committee .
First there were prayers in a side room where the sandal was kept, after the prayers the Senior Inspector of Mahim Police Station Mr Pawar carried it auspiciously on his head.. this is a long and tiring journey to the Holy Shrine of the Makhdoom Shah Baba Shrine accompanied by Rafaees, police band, Nasik band and the works.
Here you see the entire Mumbai Police officers constables taking turns to carry the sandal at each step towards the Holy Shrine.
I shot this at the Station and returned to Bandra due to urgent work commitments
