The Kalash people are a small ethno-religious group living in the Chitral District of Pakistan. The Kalash follow a unique set of cultural traditions and practices, one of which is the practice of marriage.
In the Kalash culture, marriages are typically arranged by the families of the bride and groom. The bride's family will usually choose a husband for their daughter, and the groom's family will agree to the match. Once the families have agreed to the marriage, a ceremony is held to formalize the union.
The Kalash have several festivals throughout the year, and marriage ceremonies are often held during these festivals. The main festivals are the Joshi and Chilimjusht festivals, which are held in the spring and summer, respectively. During these festivals, young Kalash girls may be married off in a traditional ceremony.
The wedding ceremony itself is a colorful and elaborate affair, with music, dance, and feasting. The bride is typically dressed in traditional Kalash clothing, which includes a headcovering, ornately embroidered shawl, and a long, flowing gown. The groom is also dressed in traditional Kalash clothing, which includes a head covering and a long, flowing tunic.
After the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds will typically live with the groom's family. In the Kalash culture, it is the groom's family who is responsible for providing for the couple and any children they may have. The bride is expected to help with household chores and may also be expected to help with farming and other tasks.
