My Haji Malang 2010 Urus Series -Dedicated to Marziya Shakir, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.
These are pictures shot by Marziyas mother the moment I reached home barefeet from Haji Malang after 2 days..I shot my two favorite subjects the Hijras at Haji Malang and the Dhamal .I shot the Malangs of Haji Malang walking on burning fire of lit agarabattis..this was an astounding and memorable ritual
.I climbed the Haji Malang mountain known as Malangad barefeet and came down bareefeet too ..
And my grand daughter rushed into my arms , my wife was not at home..the first thing Marziya wanted to know was whether I had bought her anything .. I had not ..there was nothing that Marziya would have liked not even at Kalyan station.
And this new series shot on a 14 GB card is dedicated to Marziya Shakir 2 year old..photographer from Mumbai..
All pictures at Flickr ..
