The second Pamir Festival kicked-off in Khorog, the capital city of Gorno-Badakhshan region of Tajikistan. The event is being organized by Aga Khan Foundation in collaboration with other organization.
Artists from the mountains of Tajikistan, China, Afghanistan, Pakistan (Chitral) and Kirghisitan presented mosaics of traditional dances and folk songs on first day of the two-day festivities.
The stalls staged alongside the musical program also display colorful handicrafts from Tajik and Afghan Badakhshan.

Colorful event. The diverse range of participation shows how interesting it has been. I liked the most: the procession in traditional dress of female, with daf in their hands.. Awesome.

—-Dear All!
Thanks for the PT team for sharing-However; the basic theme is again missed intestinally or un-intestinally. This cultural programme was arranged in valley of HUNZA in 1974 by AKCSP and the person nominated by AKF was Engineer Ghulam Muhammad SAKHI OF VILLAGE PASSU. It was a week programme specially invited by the artiest and artisan of TASHGURGHAN and Dufdaar Area of China. We worked as a volunteer and give our inputs to make it successful.
-The basic theme of such cultural programs is to learn, acceptability and intermingling of cultural, social and in broad spectrum religiously to one another.
-If we are talking about the trans-boarder opportunities for the mountainous living people of these areas what was wrong to call all of them on this festival of joy to learn from one another and own the good values. As, narrated this is the second of its type and Inshallah if feasible the concern offices and personalities should consider these options. The upper part of Hunza (Gojal) population of majority are Wakhix of genealogically toojik and they majority speak wakhix language.
Oly the main missing here was Hunza or Gilgit-Baltistan
If I remember it was not 1974….
bisyor qashang ast. tashakur
