What a wonderful video of Mata Salamat. Looking forward to other rare videos.
Dear Malikbhai Merchant,
We are very grateful to you for showing us a memorable event of our late Mata Salamat going to Pilgrimage to HAJJ as well as her work of art. We are sure that the whole world will appreciate your effort. We were fortunate that our late parents attended ceremonies in Aswan in 1959 and our son Minaz and his wife Anar were at Mata Salamat’s burial.
