Mascara Man in Herat
![](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6951/3058/400/061014_Herat%20mascara%20man.jpg)
This photo of a Sufi man with mascara on his eyes was taken in September 2006 at the shrine of the 11th century Sufi master Abdullah Ansari at Gazar Gah, 5 km from Herat, Afghanistan.
Does anybody know why Sufi men sometimes put on mascara? I was told to protect them from the evil eye but would like to learn if more explanations exist.
