Every Kalash child is left with a dirty face, to avoid attracting unwanted spirit attention. The Kalash are known as the indigenous people of Chitral Pakistan, and their ancestors migrated to Chitral from Afghanistan in the 2nd century BC.
#Pakistan #kalash

Four young Kalash children are sitting in front of their home. The Kalash people are an indigenous ethnic group residing in the remote valleys of the Chitral district in northern Pakistan, near the border with Afghanistan. They are known for their distinct culture, religion, and lifestyle that set them apart from the majority Muslim population of Pakistan. The Kalash have attracted considerable interest due to their unique traditions, language, and physical appearance, which are sometimes described as being more akin to ancient Indo-European groups than the other ethnicities in the region. The Kalash practice a form of animism and polytheism that includes a belief in multiple gods, spirits, and deities. Their religion is heavily tied to nature and agriculture, with many rituals and ceremonies dedicated to deities associated with water, the sun, and fertility. The Kalash people also believe in ancestral spirits and often perform offerings and sacrifices to ensure prosperity, good harvests, and the well-being of their community.

‪A woman’s headdress in Ladakh called a Perak, is often a stunning artistic achievement, and it provides a statement of her status, wealth, artistic sense, and history. It is a prized possession and is often passed down from mother to daughter.
#Ladakh #India #nubravalley #perak

A woman from Ladakh wearing her Headdress called a perak. The perak is still worn by Ladakhi women as a symbol of traditional culture. Public performances, cultural exhibits, and photos prepared for tourists often emphasize the women wearing their headdresses with their ornate turquoise ornamentation.
