Blink of an Eye

On the time scale of the history of the Earth an individual human lifetime is a mere blink of an eye. We're born, we live, and we die--and then we are "heard no more."

But... There are people who still are alive even thou they are long gone from this ever changing world. Hazrat Data Ganj Baksh is one of them. Around the royal pavilion of the great saint of Lahore, lies the real essence of the Lahori Culture. Selling things for both dead and alive these shopkeepers stun the visitors with vibrant colors around them mixed with the touch of heritage and belief.

Data Durbar is the tomb of Hazrat Syed Abul Hassan Bin Usman Bin Ali Al-Hajweri, the famous Sufi saint of South Asia, where hundreds of thousands of people come each year to pay their respects and to say their prayers. The large complex also includes Jamia Hajveria, or Hajveri Mosque.
