Girls dancing during Basant

Someone has sent this dated picture of a group of Pakistani girls dancing fervently on the occasion of the festival of Basant. As is customary during the spring kite festival, the colour yellow is prominently displayed during the festival – in peoples’ dresses, the embellishment of the kites and the decorations throughout the city.

Basant is an ancient tradition of the city of Lahore and its adjoining areas, comprising kite flying, all night dancing and even floodlit kite flying parties during the night!

Life imitates art


A Pakistani girl doing her hair standing before a painting of – guess what – a Pakistani girl doing her hair! They say life is an imitation of art; here we see it happening before our own eyes. As we can imagine, the artist may have used a model for his painting. Whether this girl is consciously imitating the girl in the painting, we can only speculate.

It may be a subconscious reflex, or merely coincidence! She watches the painting, while the camera watches her. Surreal!

Life imitates art - literally!


All Smiles


Beautiful Pakistani girls cheerleading at a sporting event. In this picture we see spontaneous, all natural smiles as the girls observe an object of interest. This picture is remarkably crisp, showing a range of feelings and human emotions.

Someone in the backdrop sports a navy blue cap – revealing a position of authority among the cheerleaders. The white dupattas contrast beautifully with the red kameez of the cheerleaders, creating a unique, internationally distinctive look.

Golden Girls

Red and Green, Sindhi Style


Two pretty girls in red and green shalwar kameez. The lady in the foreground flashes a rather mischievous, almost naughty smile. These girls appear to be Sindhi, as can be gauged from their complexions and features. Sindh is the region that spreads from the boundaries of Seraiki Punjab all the way down to the Indus delta.

It has seen civilizations as ancient as Mohenjodaro (Mound of the Dead), and cities as modern as today’s cosmopolitan Karachi.

Golden Girls


Two beautiful girls in golden shalwar kameez pose for the camera. Pakistani girls dress comfortably with versatility, equally at ease in Eastern and Western clothing. Sometimes, creative designers create unique fusion designs, incorporating the best of both worlds.

Captivating Girl eyes

A beautiful Pakistani girl looking absolutely ravishing. Here’s a lady who’s got a mischievous, sassy look about her. Looking up, facing down…theres something rather intriguing about a lady who looks up at you.

At the exam center



Here’s a scene that’s often seen at our colleges. A pretty desi girl sitting an exam at a college somewhere in remote Sindh. Her shalwar kameez seems to be made out of the sheer “lawn” material, made of cotton. The sea-green clothes contrast starkly with the brown background. What’s really interesting is that the lady behind her is also wearing blue/green!


Making eyes at you


Here we see another cute photo of Amal, lazing on her tummy while fixating longingly at the camera. She’s wearing an argentum colored eye shadow with light makeup. They say you can tell what’s in a girl’s mind by gazing into her eyes. What do her eyes say?

We don’t know about you, but we think this chick is kinda cute!






Girl in Independence Day

Pakistani girls all dressed up for the 14th of August celebrations. Brandishing flags painted green and white, Pakistani girls sure know how to celebrate their national day. Today is the 61st independence day of Pakistan. This means that someone who was born at midnight, the 14th of August 1947 is 61 years old now.

Pakistan came into existence 61 years ago as a country for the Muslims of India. Born after great sacrifices by people from across India, Pakistan was a dream turned into reality by the magnificient personalities of Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal.

Pakistan is home to a staggering range of ethnicities, ranging from Hazarajat to Makrani, and everything in between. The four provinces contain a large number of subethnicities and diverse languages. In this picture we see four beautiful ladies posing for Pakistan, one for each region.

Happy independence day everyone!

Lahori girls

Lahori girls


A pair of Lahori girls in blue shalwar kameez smiling for the camera. The dusky maidens of central Punjab are known for their vibrant, confident attitudes and carefree worldviews.

Here’s to the beauty of Punjab, and above all, of Pakistan!



Sana and friend

This elegant lady has just sent us her picture. Sana’s apparently a Pakistani girl, posing here with her friend (or is it cousin?).

One’s wearing deep blue (with a hint of turquioise), while her mate wears pink that’s extensively embellished with what appears to be ornamental beads. These ladies appear to be Southern Punjabis.



Girl in Pink

Girl in Pink


A beautiful Pathan girl from a university in Peshawar stands before the imposing ochre building running her fingers through her auburn tresses, lost in thought. The leafy foliage creates a serene backdrop to this photograph, imposing an almost melancholy ambience. Feminine beauty that makes you contemplate about the mysteries of life.

The Frontier province today is ravaged with violence, an unfathomable tragedy to the immense natural beauty and legendary people of the region. Here’s to the beautiful ladies of Pakhtoonkhwa!


All dressed up


A girl called Rani has sent us her pictures from Spain. She’s obviously dressed up as a bride, modelling some of the latest bridalwear.

Notice the bodypaint on her arms – this is Mehndi, also known as Henna.

Hot girl from Lahore

Here we see Wardah, a sweet lass from the ancient city of Lahore. Wearing a large pendant medallion in a bright green costume, we find this chick looking sweet with a naughty smile about her face.

She’s also wearing a tiny nose stud known as a “koka”.



Peshawar Girl looking good


A cute babe from Peshawar is seen posing here for the camera in what appears to be a self shot. Peshawar girls are renowned for their good looks and fair complexion. This lady appears to have some very attractive facial features, including lovely eyes and lashes (are they real?). She’s also wearing pink lip gloss.


More of Saleema


Here’s the lovely Saleema in another shot, wearing a dark top and looking absolutely fabulous. Karachi has its fair share of beauties, and this medical student is no exception.

Also conspicuous is her ochre hued earring, nicely complementing her beautiful tied hair.


Medical student from Karachi


A rather pretty lady from Karachi has sent us her pictures. A medical student in Karachi, she’s sporting a rather cute nose ring.

Her name is Saleema, and she seems to be wearing a lab coat and is looking very attractive indeed! We’ll be putting up more pics of her shortly.



Zunaira has sent her pictures to us without specifying which city in Pakistan she’s from. This looks like a somewhat professionally done photoshoot.

In some of the pictures we see Zunaira wearing a Pakistani shalwar kameez suit, while in othes she’s sporting a western front-button down shirt. We think she’s rather cute – what about you?


Two beautiful Pakistani girls striking a reclining pose. One of them seems lost in thought, while the other flashes a mysterious smile.

Pakistani girls are amongst the most attractive females in the world, as is evident from this rather vivid picture.
