The Lucky Irani Circus is one of the cheapest yet enjoyable form of entertainment available for the people of Pakistan since the country’s beginning. It has a wide following specially among the lower middle class.

The following pictures were taken in 2010 when the circus came to Annu Bhai Park in Nazimabad, Karachi. – Photos and text by Hussain Afzal/Dawn.com
