#Kalash communities gather for the Chawmos festival, December 2024. Large fires are lit and traditional dances are performed to mark the end of purification rituals as part of Kalash new year. These dances, passed down through generations, are a vital part of their cultural and spiritual identity, reinforcing community bonds and honouring ancestral beliefs.
