Have you ever wondered where sewayyian or sawaiyan (Vermicelli) comes from?
This is how this Eid delicacy begins its life. In this picture a worker is seen preparing vermicelli (sewayyian) at grand scale in Rawalpindi in preparation for upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr.
If you are wondering what happened to the sawaiyan-maker’s shirt, take a look at the next photograph.
Its hanging on the pole to the right of the photograph!
Enjoy your saywiaan this Eid, everyone.

Commentators! You guys are hilarious. LOL!
At the first glance, I thought it was a chandelier.
Never was a fan of this dish, but nothing else was available on breakfast so I had no choice. Or the alternate was a mithai that never failed to trigger my lactose intolerence.
Such a grand preparation, I must be in minority.
well i m very much disappointed by the things you have being posting…….instead of making a good image of Pakistan you are indeed spoiling it…..already Pakistan is suffering from lots of ‘ups and downs’ ……!!!!
being a Pakistani you should show to others that its is a strong country ..yet….. instead of showing false things hidden inside Pakistan…..indeed we itself have spoilt it so why are you blaming Pkistan for it……… its not a thing to be proud of…..!!
…. all of you should have shame if didn’t understand yet…….!!!
Living in the US allows me to eat meat on Bakra Eid… I remember how the sight of blood and offal made used to make me a vegetarian for a good couple of weeks…
But such is the healing power of nostalgia that I recall even the blood and the offal fondly now…
…..me thought me saw…
VERM(atodes) I(n) the CELLI(ng) and a human being
Well ,just kidding
-by the way I don`t really know how much appetite I am possesing after having read and seen the article….
can hardly have huge talab for Vermicelli at the forthcoming Eid, with this in fresh mind…….
I might even have traumatized my taste buds for a time…….
Yet another example that ignorance is bliss…
Anyone been inside mithai shop kitchens? It is a tried and tested cure of the sweet tooth syndrome…
I considered them to be ‘factory-made’. AND this isn’t a good scene to view while Eid is so close. *yuks*
I am still unsure as to HOW they are made.
The pictures only tell us of the environment that they are made it. But how do those long hanging things come about?
wow. Amazing pics.
Never realized that this is how sawaiyan are actually made!
