Exorcising the Jinn
Living there for days or even months, worshippers who believe 10th century spiritual leader Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ashabi can rid them of possession by demons, known as jinns, leave offerings, chant prayers and grasp at walls in the rooms surrounding his tomb.
Shrines across Pakistan's Sindh province attract waves of believers, and worshippers can stay years at the Ashabi shrine in a bid to exorcise evil spirits.
