The Dam Madar Malangs At The Urus Of Zinda Shah Madar Makhanpur, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
There is strict protocol here and hierarchy ,and every Malang order sits at the four ends of the Holy Sainta Shrine , the public dare not venture here or the Malang Kotwals will use the stick..being a part of the Aqsan order I could shoot this without any hindrance from the Malangs ..and this is a very solemn moment ,,,and the crowds inside at the back and outside tremendous ..and the entrance to the Shrine yard is a small gate .. getting in is tough getting out near impossible ,,, and you could get this shot from a building ahead , but shooting at ground level was adrenalin ,, and more ,,,Syed Rafiq Ali Baba Malang was leading the Aqsan group as Peersab Masoomi Baba is very old and had knee problems .. and this place is very crowded .. the chant of Dam Madar Beda Par resounds in the air ,,,the fragrance of rose petals and attar ..
Will I go to the Urus this year dont know ,,, Woh Bulate Hain Ham Jate Hain..
