Mehndi / Henna


Mehndi / Henna
Originally uploaded by Ameer Hamza

The mehndi applied for weddings is very different from those applied for religious or social festivals like Eids or parties, etc. The wedding mehndi, besides being very expensive (b/w USD 50 - USD 300 +), is also very detailed and may easily consume over 3-4 hours of intense concentration. Even more.

Portraits: Gabol children, Rannikot

Via Flickr:
Approx. 500-600 villagers live within the formidable walls of Rannikot fort (also pronounced locally as Runnikot). These people belong to Baloch tribe of Gabol and are fiercely independent. And much unlike the Sindhis around them, their women usually do not perform any purdah (i.e., they don't cover their faces from strangers). In fact, purdah system is not enforced across Balochistan province, which lies just next to this area.
