Siddi is an African-born predominantly Negroid racial-ethnic group in South Asia, which annually recalls its roots, celebrating the Crocodile Feast.

People gather in the temple of Pir Mango, dancing, enchanting songs surrounded by crocodiles on the outskirts of Karachi.

Garlands are put on crocodiles, and also sprinkled with saffron.
