Photographer Christopher Herwig has travelled 10,000km in his quest to record this overlooked art form. He has documented the characteristics of each region - from Pakistan in the north to Sri Lanka in the south. Sadly, as a result of government directives, alongside the proliferation of cheap, mass-produced decorations, this vibrant cultural expression is in decline, making this project all the more vital.--Riya Raagini ""The Guardian""
