Day 3 in Sehwan - Dhamal
A dervish performing dhamal, a devotional dance being an ecstatic swirl of the head and body performed at the rhythmic beat of the dhole (a big barrel-shaped drum).
While the hypnotic dhamal continued I saw some people becoming
senseless during the dance. A few cases looked very serious. Reportedly 34 people died during one week Urs in Sehwan this year and additional 65 were found missing.
