Festive Lights

On the occasion of Ashura, Pakistani refugee camps of Dhaka in Bangladesh get a festive look. Lighting, crowd, music, it's chaotic all around. Everybody, especially children, enjoys their time on this occasion. Playing drums is a traditional practice in Ashura for the Shiah Muslims. Children always like to take their part in drumming on the street.
