Before the Eid al-Adha in Karachi, Pakistan, camels whose fur has been trimmed are being adorned with traditional motifs and presented to the public. In the city of Karachi, located in the Sindh province of Pakistan, the sale of sacrificial animals continues in the largest animal market in Asia. The camels at the market are trimmed in different styles and adorned with traditional motifs, just like every year. Hasan Ali, a famous camel barber who comes to the market days before the holiday, spends about 4 hours to adorn a camel. Ali mentions that this is not only a source of income for him but also a passion. The owners of the camels state that the adornment process increases the value of the animals.
