Celebrating Afterlife

Funeral

Until the 1970s, the Kalasha people were still leaving their dead out in the open in wooden caskets but in the past few decades, they have started burying them instead. What hasn’t changed however is their tradition of celebrating afterlife where the community gathers around the dead and sings and dances, the songs usually focusing on tales of their ancestors, an oral means of keeping the past alive and known throughout generations.
