The shaking bodies on the drum beat are giving the message of spring. Sometimes there is a zaftig style of serpentine dance and at times nymphs dancing in chorus seem happy in the delight of spring, along with them. There are charming young men, kids, and elders of the tribe who also dance at this event.
The Kalash tribe of the Hindukush Range is considered among the most ancient in the world. The ancient ethnic group of the Kalash people live high in the remote mountains of Pakistan’s Hindu Kush (an extension of the Himalayas) deep in the valleys of Bumboret, Rumbur, and Birir, near the inaccessible mountain border of Afghanistan and more specifically in the greater area of Chitral valley, in the KP Province of Pakistan. The Kalash have one of the most remarkable cultures on the planet. The Kalash are an ancient tribe of Pakistan and they have their own way of life, their own religion, language, rituals, and their own identity. This part of Pakistan is considered a well-preserved ethnic and cultural museum. Owing to this value, Kalash culture has been listed by UNESCO for consideration as World Heritage Site.
