I had kept this section of Hussain Tekri Jaora on hold, these are Hindu followers of Imam Hussain , waiting in a long line to get food from the Hyderabadi Irani langar at Vasi Lodge .

I could go on shooting them simply because of their rustic robust spirituality they believed in their Hindu gods but added Imam Hussain as one of their benefactors and savior.

And being the last day of Chehlum the langar continued all day, this was my second trip to Hussain Tekri after 7 years and Ali Reza Shirazi and Hyder bhai wanted me to come to the Chilla of Chabbuk Sharif about 3 km walk, I walked barefeet ...

The story goes an Englishman used to ill treat the workers at his farm in Hussain Tekri and from the Shrine of Hazrat Ali the whip flew and beat the Englishman , so the small Shrine in remembrance is called Chabbuk Sharif.

People who are under demonic spells come here to be healed and cured.
