Dam Madar Malang And The Rafees At Dongri .
The Rafaee in pink kurta is the new Murshad of the Chancawalli Rafaees Mashukh AliBaba .. son of Late Sikandar Wali Baba .. the person who introduced me to the World of Rafaees or known as Rifai Silsila.
The old rafaees I knew Hassan Ganda , Farukh, Faiyaz Ali have all moved to fresh pastures become heads of their own orders or joined other rafaee orders .
I have been documenting the Rifais for over 15 years or more ,,and they are like the fakirs of yore .
They have patrons donors who help them and invite them to the various Urus in Mumbai and the perform the body piercing acts known as Zarb.
