Baney Bhai The Greatest Kama Veteran of Lucknow, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
Baney bhai in the white kurta is the man who encouraged me to do my kama matam during Athvi in Lucknow , and despite several bandages he could not stop my head bleeding.. so severe was my kama matam in Lucknow .
I met Baney bhai again briefly during Ashura 2007 and than we met again this year , he his young band of kama matamdars , who continue cutting their heads from Nakhas all the way till Talkatora.
He is a face you cannot miss in Moharam of Lucknow a true Maulaiee.
