This photograph taken on May 11, 2024 shows Fatima Noor, a stunt girl, performing in a “Wall of Death” during an annual mela or carnival at a Sufi shrine in Shah Jiwana, a town in the Jhang district of Pakistan's Punjab province. Rhythmic drums and spirited dancing are once again bringing life to the shrines of Pakistan's saints, where festivals were long stifled by jihadist violence. As the harvest season ends and schools finish for the summer, villagers climb atop tractor trolleys, buses, and rickshaws to head to the annual celebrations at Sufi shrines dotted across the country.
