In this work Ather Jamal captured the traditional costumes and jewelry of the womenfolk in contrast to the arid environment intended as research material for future generations to study. In 1998 he was commissioned by the National Defence College, Islamabad, to paint a mural on the theme of the history of Pakistan.
