Kalash Valley Chilam Joshi Festival Tour Highlights
- 8 years ago
Surrounded by the mountains of the Hindu Kush live a small group of people called the Kalash. They have their own language, religion and dress. There are many theories about how they came to inhabit their lofty valleys. Some say that they are the descendents tribes who intermarried with followers of Alexander the Great while others discern traces of Greek Civilization and physical characteristics among the Kalash. Their origin is still not clear but many foreigners relate to them as a “little Island of Pagans in a Muslim World”.
The origin of the Kalashah or ‘Wearers of Black’ is shrouded in mystery; their tribe has existed for thousands of years having survived in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Chitral in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. They follow a pagan religion, speak an ancient language and possess a culture that is most unique. The 30003500 souls are also ranked amongst some of the world’s most endangered indigenous groups. Efforts are underway to grant the region and these people Protected Status under UNESCO.
The Kalash are famous for their ceremonies and unique customs. One of such is the Joshi or the Chillum Jusht Spring Festival. The festival is dedicated to spring and to future harvests. It includes dancing, music and family reunion for four to six days in Mid May.
