  • Socio-Cultural Life of the Kalasha People of Chitral: a Study of Their Festivals
    Socio-Cultural Life of the Kalasha People of Chitral: A Study of their Festivals Muhammad Kashif Ali Muhammad Iqbal Chawla The paper seeks to examine the cultural life of the Kalasha people and their festivals. It particularly focuses on Joshi, Rat Nat & Uchaw, Pul and Winter Solstice: the Chawmos festivals points out their role in the lives of the Kalasha tribe. Primarily, the study is based on documentary evidences recorded in secondary sources and combined with the data collected by the current researcher during various field visits and ethnographic surveys to the Kalashdesh (Kalasha valleys of Bumburet, Rumbur and Birir). The study probes the meanings of festivities and their cultural significance among the Kalasha tribe. Kalasha; the sole pagan tribe of Pakistan and indigenous people, live in remote north-western part of Pakistan in Chitral district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Kalasha people belong to Indo-Aryan stock and they speak the Kalasha language (it is also called Kalasha-mun and Kalashwar); a language of Dardic group. The total population of Kalasha tribe is approximately four thousand. The Kalasha are strongly attached to their culture and religion. However, during 1970’s and 1980’s the Kalasha people and the valleys observed drastic changes like: means of communication, tourism, religious conversion, demographic, values, burial practice, and change in social institutions like bashali1 and budalak2. The Kalasha community of Chitral is considered the most festive community of Pakistan as the Kalasha dastoor rotates around the festivals, throughout the year. Primarily, the Kalasha celebrate two types of religious festivals; one type is of purely religious festivals with rituals only, while the other type is mixture of religious and cultural ceremonies; a combination of rituals, singing & dancing.

  • Analysis and Contextualization of Potential Protohistoric Petroglyphs at the Kalasha Valley of Birir in Chitral
    Zahir, M. (2020). JHSS. XXVIII No. (2) Analysis and contextualization of potential protohistoric petroglyphs at the Kalasha valley of Birir in Chitral Muhammad Zahir, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Department of Archaeology, Hazara University, Mansehra, Pakistan & Affiliate Researcher, Department of Archaeology, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Jena, Germany Abstract Petroglyphs were discovered in the Birir valley of district Chitral, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan, on an ancient route connecting the Kalasha valleys with Nuristan, lower Chitral and Central Asia. The petroglyphs were engraved on a solitary schist stone. The rock, with associated structures, occupies a strategic location in the landscape, possibly representing a hunting outpost. The petroglyphs consist of 29 figures, including human, animal, geometric and indistinct figures. These figures seem to have been created through the use of a metal stylus/burin. The figures were produced through the percussion method, utilizing a stippling technique. The depiction of a dog, a goat and stylized human figures suggest a possible link to the subsistence and hunting strategies of the protohistoric people in the region. Based upon the limited archaeological knowledge of the region, the present petroglyph site may tentatively be dated to the 1st millennium BCE. Keywords: Chitral Archaeology, Kalasha, Petroglyphs, Birir Valley, Protohistoric Cemeteries, Stippling Technique Introduction The petroglyph site of Birir is located at latitude 35˚ 38‟ 22” N and longitude 71˚ 42‟ 32” E, and at an altitude of 1780 meters above mean sea level. The site is situated about one kilometre to the south of village Gurulodeh in the Birir Valley, District Chitral, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan (Fig.

In order to overcome this difficult situation, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has reached an agreement with the World Bank to develop a broad program for economic development in the province with financial assistance from the Bank: the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Irrigation Agriculture Improvement Project. It consists of three components: on-farm water management infrastructure; on-farm water management techniques; and agriculture.The direct beneficiaries are the farmersand rural communities. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE The Project Development Objective is to improve the performance of irrigated agriculture on smallholder farms in the project area. This objective will be achieved through: (i) improving on-farm water management (OFWM) system by upgrading watercourses, introducing advanced irrigation technologies, and strengthening the capacity of communities, farmers, and OFWM Directorate; and (ii) increasing agriculture productivity as well as promoting agro-processing and value addition. The Project would cover all districts and tehsils of the province. KALASH – BACKGROUND AND CHARACTERISTICS The Kalash people in the Chitral district of the province consider themselves indigenous due to their distinct language, folklore, and polytheistic religion; differentiate them from the other communities in the area who migrated to Chitral at a later time.

  • Traditional Costumes of the Kalasha Kafirs of Chitral, Pakistan Shabnam Bahar Malik
    Traditional Costumes of the Kalasha Kafirs of Chitral, Pakistan Shabnam Bahar Malik Abstract The Kalasha Kafirs sometimes referred to as Siah-Posh (the black-robed) Kafirs in relation to their traditional black dress, inhabit the three remote and isolated valleys of Chitral District in the militancy-hit Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) Province of Pakistan. An endangered living culture, at the verge of extinction, there are only 3,000 to 4,000 left in the three Kalasha Valleys according to a recent estimate (Ali 2013:2). A most distinguishing feature of the Kalasha ethnicity and their unique cultural identity is the elaborate costumes (Cew and Piran) adorned with belts (patti) worn by Kalasha women, their unique and ornate headdresses (kupas and shushut) and heavy beaded jewellery (sulki, mahik, lish, kapaban and gadu’lay). The traditional Kalasha clothing bears meaning to its wearers and reflects skill, creativity, status, wealth, celebration and mourning. My study indicates that both Kalasha men and women have almost abandoned their traditional woolen costumes and switched over to the Pakistani dress for men and women i.e. the new version of the traditional black-robe dress piran. The newly established Kalasa Dur Museum and Cultural Center in Bumburet Valley provides a unique opportunity for the study and documentation of the traditional costumes of the Kalasha Kafirs, and to preserve their rich material cultural heritage through pictorial archives and digitisation for future generations. Introduction and Background The Kalasha Kafirs sometimes referred to as Siah-Posh (the black-robed kafirs) in relation to their traditional black dress, inhabit the three remote and isolated valleys (Bumburet, Birir, and Rambur) of Chitral District.
