The culture of Kalash people is unique and differs completely from the various ethnic groups surrounding them. 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 Kalash are cheerful people, generous, witty and fond of rejoicing and merry making. Their women folk have an outgoing manner that is disarming, delightful and unexpected. They have four festivals every year.
**Derawar Fort.

It is an ancient fort located in Cholistan Desert in Pakistan. The Fort was built by Deoraj, a prince of Jaisalmer. The forty bastions of Derawar are visible for many miles in Cholistan Desert. The walls have a circumference of 1500 metres and stand up to thirty metres high!
St. Patrick’s Cathedral,the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi, is situated on Shahrah-e-Iraq, formerly known as Clarke Street. It was in April 1881 that the present cathedral was opened.
… In 2003, the cathedral was declared as a protected monument because of its outstanding architectural beauty under the Sindh Cultural Heritage Protection Act.
One of the largest necropolises in the world, with a diameter of approximately 8 kilometers, Makli Hill is supposed to be the burial place of some 125,000 Sufi saints. It is located on the outskirts of Thatta, Sindh.
Nice job Rangoli !
I have been meaning to post all the pictures you have recently added including Shandoor Polo Fest, Kailash Tribe, Derawar Fort etc.
I have collected some nice Pakistan pictures and will share when I get some free time.
I collected some great ones of the Baashahi Masjid and the Lahore Fort.
Nice close-up aerial view.
On the bottom right is the Gudwara Dera Sahab build bu Maharaja Ranjeet Singh and I believe he is buried there as well.
Facing the masjid is the Lahore Fort separated by the Hazoori Bagh and Pavilion.
