What is the Cultural Dress of Seraikis? In different ares, I found Seraikis wearing different clothes. Sometimes I found Seraikis wearing Kurta, Lungi & Pagri and sometimes I found Seraikis wearing Sindhi Topi & Sindhi Ajrak. Many Seraiki Balochis & Seraiki Pathans wear their own original cultural dress.
And about architecture, I also found that there are also differences. Multani Architecture is different, Sindhi-Seraiki Architecture is different and Seraiki Balochis and Seraikis Pathans live in their own original architectural homes.

I think Punjabi and Sindhi is a race but Seraiki is not a race, only a language. Because they don’t have their own cultural clothes, architecture etc.

As far as architecture is concerned Multani style kaashi (tiles designs used on many sufi shrines) is different and its the variation that are found in Sindh. Multan’s Kashi designs remained popular in Sindh since centuries. Shah Latif traveled to Multan for buying Kashi tiles for his great grandfather Shah Abdul Karim’s tomb.

The ajrak patterns are different in saraiki region as well. Blue / purple color dominates there alongwith traditional red / maroon color popular in Sindh. Multani embroidery is definitely different from Sindhi Gajj, etc.

The variety and similarities with Sindhi, Baloch and Punjabi cultures doesn’t mean that they didn’t get their own traditional clothes, folklore and architecture. The fact is the region by in centre and on main route got all these cultural affects.
