HALA CITY:


 Hala is near bank of river indus , Hala is a city and taluka of Matiari district of sindh, Pakistan. According to the Revenue record,  Hala was given the status of Taluka in 1848. Hala is famous for art, Handy crafts, ceramics, glaze know as kashi kari, wood work know as Jandri, cloth printing . Ajrak making, weaving Hand made khaddi, sussi work. and hala have rich historical background in literacy ,cultural and spiritual religious oldest city. It is best known for Sufism, Culture, Hala Bazaar

Hala became a leading centre of the Suhrawardi sect of Sufism from the 16th century onwards. It contains the mausoleum of Makhdum Nuh (died circa 1592), a Suhrawardi Pir, which attracts pilgrims.
Hala has a rich sindhi culture. Man clad themselves in a traditional Salwar Kameez having broader bottoms and traditional Sindhi cap, previously in hala, common wear for woman was Gharara or "Parro" with bangles all the way up till shoulders but now a days this type of wear is in countryside not on the city of Hala. Presently women at their homes wear Shalwar Kamiz with a Dupatta over their heads and out in town they prefer to wear Burqas in puplic. Clogging road-side tea-stalls with colleagues and friends, is a favorite pastime for Halai men. Many women in rural Sindh are skilled in the production of caps. Sindhi caps are manufactured commercially on a small scale at New Saeedabad and Hala New. These are in demand with visitors from Karachi and other places; however, these manufacturing units have a limited production capacity.
Sindhi people began celebrating Sindhi Topi Day on December 6, 2009 to preserve the historical culture of Sindh by wearing Ajrak and Sindhi topi

The Hala bazaar is a famous bazaar where people from many cities go for shopping.Hala have different Traditional things to sell , there sellers are deals well to approch their custumers . The hala jewellaries famous from to sindh . The Ralli (also known as Rilli, Rehli, Rallee, Gindi or other names), or patchwork quilt, is another Sindhi icon and part of the heritage and culture. Most Sindhi homes have many rallis one for each member of the family and a few spare for guests. The ralli is made with small pieces of cloth of geometrical shapes sewn together to create intricate designs. They may be used as a bedspread or a blanket and are often given as gifts to friends and guests
.The Ancient art of Kashigars : Amongst many handicrafts that Hala is popular for, glazed ceramic, earthnware and terracotta seem to be most popular in pakistan.These pots and tiles available in various shapes and sizes are famous for their exquiste hand painting. Using only signature colours that include cobalt blue, turquoise, mustard, purple, brown and white; this form of art is known as 'Kashi Kari'.The Hala tiles and earthware are massively exported to Middel East and europe.We had an exciting day hanging out at these workshops, which I would rather refer to as "Pottery yards" since these are not of those well-designed factories or pottery studios. These are organic, earthy and natureal layouts in big open yards surrounded by bricks.
The yards are partially apportioned to stack and store drying products while the rest is used for the painting process. The actual process of sand and clay mixing, moulding, shaping, baking and glazing happens in the open courtyard.
There are four to five such yards in a small village that has nothing but narrow dusty lanes, with simple bricks house adjacent to the pottery workshops.
The most interesenting part is the handmade wood fuelled furnace where the shape pottery is fired for at least 15-20 hours before it is ready for painting.
The younger generation never thinks of any other profession but to learn the ancient art that their forefathers have been practicing. Despite being so talented and producing exquiste artwork, these families remain poor. 

Many these type of handicrafts are related to our great heritage, our festivals, our traditions and also our day to day needs. The pity is that earning from beautiful art works done by these great craftsmen does not meet the demand their daily livelihood because of exploitation of business men and very poor response from the government.
