The Hindu Kush mountain range encircles Pakistan’s Kalash Valley, which is home to the Kalasha people, who celebrate the Kalash Festival. This event is held three times every year: in the spring, summer, and winter. Chilam Joshi is the name of the spring festival, which begins around May 13. August 20 marks the start of the summer celebration known as Uchal. Choimus, or winter festivity, begins on December 15.
The Kalasha people do more than just enjoy themselves on these occasions. Furthermore, they revere their gods and spirits, occasionally offering sacrifices to them. During these events, young men and women chose their future marriages. The festivals provide an opportunity to enjoy life in general, dance, and drink. Allowing the Kalasha people to maintain their rituals in the picturesque Kalash Valley helps to preserve their culture.
