Shooting The Namaz From a Burning Rooftop Barefeet

Shooting The Namaz From a Burning Rooftop Barefeet

This was the Friday Namaz at Urus Ajmer 2010, and the floor of the roof top from where I shot this was burning like hell..

My intention was to shoot it frm the rooms of Gopal Hajiand Babita hijra , their balcony faces the road that lead to the Bulund Darwaza, but to my bad luck it was occupied by the namazis, even a few hijras were participating in this namaz , of the first friday at the Urus.

Than one of the hijras suggested I ggo to the terrace where I shot this series..Even Hindus with Rajasthani turbans were head bowed in Namaz..such was the glory of a spirituality that touched everyone..

Yes truly Allah Be Praised.
May His Will Be Done..

Raveena Hijra Neither Man Nor Woman

130,418 items / 969,559 views

Lethal combination of beauty and brains .
A mans soul in womanly chains
She loves to override her emotions
She loves to entertain
Hidden beneath her beguiled smile
Lies a Soul in pain
On legs of Hope
A neck of a crane
On her heart
it rains it rains

The Most Beautiful Hijra From Aligarh

I have shot a lot of hijras , good bad ugly, but Raveena Hijra could take anyone's breath away , and mind you she is in a house dress not really made up for the occasion.


This is raw hijda beauty with a lot of talent , I told her if she was to star in a Bollywood movie they would not need to bring a kite from abroad called Babara Mori.

Raveena hijra is a consummate actress , she is a chameleon that changes her emotions within seconds.

I shot her is a understatement she shot me too, she is proud vain arrogant and she was born to play with mans languishing libido.

She belongs to the hijra gharana of Gopal Haji and Babita Hijra of Najafgarh Delhi.

And this was shot at Burraq Manzil where Gopal bhai stays at every Urus at Moti Katla.

And with this picture I begin my new set Hijras of Ajmer 2010.. as my tribute to her beauty and deadly charm.

She gave me some lasciviously sexual poses but I refused to shoot her..I shoot simplicity and the human essence of the hijra angst.

My hijra pictures are not for titillation I dont shoot porn I had request from Hijras to shoot them raw I refused..its not my genre of photography.

I shoot poems I convert them into pictorial thoughts.

So I present you a magical moment called Raveena ..the hijra substitute for a woman of substance.

Hassan Ganda Don Jaun Baba

Hassan Ganda Don Jaun Baba

The most enigmatic god looking Bawa dude is Hassan Ganda Rafaee an exponent of hardcore body piercing, I have shot him since many years and he is one stylish bawa.

He was here at Char Ajmer with his two kids, and was exposing them first time to the public.

He has lost weight and has not been well he told me , he was part of Chancawalli Rafaees with his uncle late Handi as Murshad off this motley group.

Handi died at Kota so he and his cousin Farukh moved away..from the main group.

Handa commands respect and women would give anything to have a child sired by him.

Handa Baba has lived in jungles , among wild animals and brings the best hash and opium for his Murid..

I have documented Don Jaun Baba and he is a great photographic subject..goes without saying.
