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.

The Kalash or Kalasha are a pagan tribe of Chitral, the northern district of Pakistan’s North-West Frontier Province (NWFP). They practice an ancient religion and lead a centuries-old way of life. Their religious practices are a mixture of animism and ancestor worship. Foreign tourists require permits to visit the Kalash valleys. Access to the Kalash valleys are via the Lowari Pass. The Pass is open during the summer months only, from June to mid-November. It may even close earlier due to snowfall.

With their light colouring — some even have green and blue eyes — the Kalasha are rumoured to be the descendants of Alexander the Great’s army. The culture of the Kalash is unique and differs drastically from the various ethnic groups surrounding them.

In Afghanistan, the grapes are stored for up to six months, kept fresh in airtight mud-straw containers. Afghans developed this method of food preservation, which uses mud-straw containers and is known as kangina, centuries ago in Afghanistan's rural north.

Found a drawing of my great grandfather in the newspapers, done to accompany publication of his description in a letter home of the military action in the Chitral Expedition that he was part of (we have his diaries from that).
Drawing of a late Victorian gentleman in military uniform with a splendid moustache, and a wild coo's lick going on.

I traveled 11 hours solely to motivate the people of Chitral to join us in Islamabad on the 24th of November for the final call. I understand the distance is great and the weather is challenging but if not now, then when? #FinalCall
