I saw this bagger women on bus stand when i was on my way to north. She is wearing old style veil these days usually found in places near to Afghanistan. Mostly poor people wear this one, you may have seen blue version of this one in media.

Are you saying the covering is unusual or seeing a woman at a bus stop? Not saying anything negative about culture, just curious.

Ok, ok I get it now. Are there modern veils now? It'd be interesting to see the different styles you've captured.

I love other cultures. If there's fabric, I'm there. I'm a major textile nut.
Plus, the middle East has wonderful dyes and threads.
