I'm in the midst of an intense writing week, which is why posting here has been sparse. Meanwhile, here's a work of art that deserves a lot of attention, so use the extra time to take a closer look! The photographer explains:

This ruined place is called "Satyen jo aastan" or "Abode of seven virgin maids". Located near Rohri town of Sindh on the east bank of Indus is a spectacular historical place. It's a legend that there were seven sisters when captured here by a Raja, prayed to God to protect them and before anything could happen to them, miraculously they were engulfed by the earth. The story may not be plausible but still there is a room here, housing seven graves prohibited for the males to visit but permitted only for females.
