About Kalash

The Kalasha or Kalash, also called Waigali or Wai, are a Dardic Indo-Aryan indigenous people residing in the three valleys namely Bamburait, Rambur, and Birir of District Chitral.
They are considered unique among the people of Pakistan. They are also considered to be Pakistan’s smallest ethnoreligious group.
The culture of the Kalash people is unique and differs in many ways from the many contemporary Islamic ethnic groups surrounding them in northwestern Pakistan. They are polytheists and nature plays a highly significant and spiritual role in their daily life. As part of their religious tradition, sacrifices are offered and festivals held to give thanks for the abundant resources of their three valleys.
The three main festivals (khawsáṅgaw) of the Kalash are the Chilam Joshi in middle/2nd week of May, the Uchau in autumn, and the Caumus/Chowmas in winter (December). Tourists from Pakistan, as well as from abroad visit Kalash Valleys to witness these festivals
