The shrine also attracts Indo-Muslim mystics called faqir, religious mendicants who observe lives of poverty, chastity, meditation and prayer. |
The most characteristic garment of the faqir is known as the dilaq, which is a patchwork, particoloured cloak. |
Mr Faqir grabbed his daughter in a headlock and repeatedly stabbed her in the head and stomach. |
He was then sent before the faqir, who remained seated on a mat. |
As many as 321 villages, including Khadim Chandio, Hashim Phal, Jan Muhammad Barohi, Panhal Faqir and Muhammad Changal Dheri, have been inundated in Naushehro Feroze. |
Faqir was turned over to Mr. Agha, Mr. Mashal said. |
