HYDERABAD, April 9 ― Layers of intricately decorated bangles are a staple fashion accessory for women in Pakistan , a carefully considered part of their Islamic Eid-al-Fitr celebrations.
In the lead-up to this week's Eid-al-Fitr festivities that mark the end of Ramadan, market stalls are adorned with a glittering array of colourful bangles, each turned over and inspected for their beauty and imperfections by women who haggle for a good price. “The work is done without a fan. If we turn on the fan the fire is extinguished. So the heat intensity is high. As it becomes hotter our work slows down,” said 24-year-old Sameer, who followed his father into the industry and earns less than the minimum wage of 32,000 rupees a month.
