What are the living habits in Pakistan?

Pakistan has the sixth largest population in the world. Punjab has the highest population density, followed by Northwest Frontier Province, and Baluchistan has the lowest population density. The urban population is growing, accounting for nearly 30% of the total population. There are 4.2 million immigrants (2000).

According to the religious beliefs of the residents, the Pakistani government generally refers to Muslims as "majority", while Hindus, Christians and Zoroastrians, who account for only 3% of the national population, are referred to as "minorities". The concept of nationality here is different from that in China.

Kalash Customs

Around 327 BC, the descendants of the Greeks came to the Kalash Valley. In this long and narrow valley, Kalash people now live in three villages. The houses are all made of wood, engraved with patterns and antique. These houses are three or four hundred years old. On dresses, women wear black robes, black headscarves, agates, buttons and red feathers in winter and summer. They use apricots and mulberries to make wine. Qiuying Temple Festival is solemn and grand, but only men can attend, and women can't go in. Kalash people still believe in God and the Twelve Angels.

Jinnah hat and mask

In addition to white trousers and various coats, Pakistani men wear a fur hat called "Jinnahao" in winter. Even in the hot summer, women wear robes, and when they go out, they wear "masks" that leave only a few holes in their eyes or look like knitted "meshes".

Dietary customs

Pakistanis like spicy food. Their curry products made of pepper and turmeric are world famous. Pakistanis, regardless of vegetarian dishes, stew them thoroughly in pots or pressure cookers instead of cooking them. It is their habit to eat with their right hand. The staple food is a kind of wheat pancake called "Chabati", and you usually have the habit of chewing betel nut.

Tu hong Xin nian

Muslim women believers attend prayers in the famous Al-Aqsa Mosque.

On New Year's Day, Pakistanis always like to wear red powder to go out. After seeing friends and relatives say "Happy Chinese New Year", they will paint red powder on each other's foreheads to show good luck. This is the so-called "painting red for the New Year".
