A KASHMIRI PANDIT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHED IN 1925......
SAREE HAD NOT ARRIVED IN KASHMIR AT THAT TIME . ..EVEN YOUNG GIRLS WOULD PUT ON A PHERAN ( SOMETHING LIKE A CLOAK )...
" SIT DOWN WITH YOUR LEGS CROSSED . YOU LADIES AND GENTS , KEEP SOME FLOWER IN YOUR HANDS. THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE A FLOWER TO KEEP ,LET THEM DO A PRANAAM / NAMASKAAR FOLDING THEIR HANDS AND BE SILENT . LOOK TOWARDS THE CAMERA . A SPARROW WILL SOON COME OUT FROM IT. "
That is what the photographers would tell in olden days when they came to click a group / family photograph ...
