Pakistan of Dress
The Dupatta is treated just as an accessory in current urban fashion. Most of women who carry it nowadays, wear it just as a decorative accessory; wrapping around the neck or hanging down the shoulder. Most of the young generation in urban areas do not carry it at all. Dupatta is also used by some women when entering a mosque, dargah, church, gurdwara or mandir, it is the habit in the Indian subcontinent for women to cover their head with a dupatta while entering such places. It is widely worn by women in wedding and other parties out of choice and fashion. On such occasions mostly it is wrapped round the waist, neck or just put on a shoulder. It is used with different embroidery designs of Kamdani and Gota.
In Pakistan the traditional wedding ceremony is celebrated by wearing different clothes in each wedding event. Usually, the style and designs of wedding attire vary across different regions from north to the south among different ethnic communities, however, in major urban cities such as Karachi, Lahore, Faislabad, and Rawal-Pindi, on occasion of the Rasm-e-Heena (Mendhi), men wear an embroidered kurta or Kameez in glittering colours with simple shalwar, and a colorful shawl which they put on their shoulders and sometimes round the neck. In some weddings, dress code is decided before the ceremony and all men wear the same color. Up to the wedding day, the bride may wear a yellow[26] or orange kameez, with a simple shalwar, patiala shalwar,[27] yellow dupatta and yellow paranda — more commonly in the Punjab region of Pakistan. However, in other regions customs vary for example in the north-west, particularly in the tribal areas, it is customary for a bride to wear Firaq Partug.
During baraat and walima functions, the groom usually wears kurta shalwar or kurta churidar with special sherwani and khussa, however, in some regions including Balochistan among Baloch and Pashtuns (in the north of the province), and in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, mostly among Pashtuns and Kohistanis, groom customarily wears simple, more often white colour shalwar Kameez and a traditional Baloch Bugti Chappal (in Baloch dominated regions) or Peshawari Chappal in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. During the event of baraat, grooms also wear traditional sehra on their head. In new trend in Pakistan, mostly groom wear sherwani with tight jeans which is look like a churidaar pajama. Brides normally wear an expensive lehenga or gharara[28] preferably in red, maroon and pink colors with heavy jewellery.

Food of Pakistan
Pakistani food is rich, packed full of spice, generous with ghee, and unbelievably tasty.In this list of the 21 dishes to eat in Pakistan, I’m going to share with you the best dishes I tried during mytrip to Pakistan.Get ready for some serious Pakistani flavor and regional specialties. Enough introductions, lets get to all the dishes.
To start this list off right, I just have to talk about Nihari.This dish is truly a game-changer for me when it comes to Pakistani cuisine. I would easily consider this among the best breakfasts I have ever had anywhere in the world.Nihari begins as a heap of dry spices frying in vegetable oil and animal fat. The meat ingredients follow (most commonly beef shank), and a very healthy portion of Desi Ghee(home-made local clarified butter). The slow-cooking stew is then stirred altogether in aglorious cauldron of a pot.The consistency is oozing and thick, so full of ultra-tender meat chunks literally floating in desi ghee. It has a deep red color from the spice and infused ghee.Eaten from communal plate-trays, you garnish theNiharifrom a side-plate of fragrant sliced ginger, spicy green chilies, and a squeeze from a fresh lime or two.In Lahore you can try nihari atWaris Nihari, and in Karachi, I would highly recommend Javed Nihari.
Haleem is an incredibly hearty dish made with a combination of barley, local wheat varieties, and chana (chickpeas). This dish shows the influence on Pakistan that comes from the Middle East, and people have been enjoying Haleem here for centuries.Slow-cooking, for up to an entire day, on very low heat is a technique used to give haleem its warm, home-cooked flavor.Onions (fried separately), mint leaves, both green and dry chilies, and then some masala spices go into the mother-pot, and a final garnish comes from generous squeezes of lemon juice at the end.This is a great food to have in the morning, or for an early lunch. Its very rich, full of calories to keep one’s energy up throughout the day. The flavor in a good bowl of haleem can be so rich that simply eating it with roti, and then sipping on a few cups of milk or green tea, can leave you perfect and content.Enjoy a wonderful meal of Haleem in the Old City area of Lahore, you can watch thevideo here. I was blown away and surprised how good it was!
Culture ofPakistan
The architecture of the areas now constituting Pakistan can be traced to four distinct periods: pre-Islamic, Islamic, colonial, and post-colonial. With the beginning of the Indus civilization around the middle of the 3rd millennium[2] B.C., an advanced urban culture developed for the first time in the region, with large structural facilities, some of which survive to this day.[3]Mohenjo Daro, Harappa and Kot Diji belong to the pre-Islamic era settlements. The rise of Buddhism, Guptas, Mouryas, and the Persian and Greek influence led to the development of the Greco-Buddhist style, starting from the 1st century CE. The high point of this era was reached with the culmination of the Gandhara style. An example of Buddhist architecture is the ruins of the Buddhist monastery Takht-i-Bahi in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
The arrival of Islam in today's Pakistan introduced the classical Islamic construction techniques into Pakistan's architectural landscape.[4] However, a smooth transition to predominantly picture-less Islamic architecture occurred. The town of Uch Sharif contains the tombs of Bibi Jawindi, Baha'is-Halim, and Jalaluddin Bukhari, which are considered some of the earliest examples of Islamic architecture in Pakistan and are on the UNESCO Tentative World Heritage Site list since 2004.[5] One of the most important of the few examples of the Persian style of architecture is the tomb of the Shah Rukn-i-Alam in Multan. During the Mughal era, design elements of Islamic-Persian architecture were fused with, and often produced playful forms of, local art, resulting in the establishment of Mughal Architecture. Lahore, occasional residence of Mughal rulers, exhibits a multiplicity of important buildings from the empire, among them the Badshahi mosque, the fortress of Lahore with the famous Alamgiri Gate, the colourful, still strongly Mughal-influenced Wazir Khan Mosque as well as numerous other mosques and mausoleums. The Shahjahan Mosque of Thatta in Sindh also originates from the epoch of the Mughals, as does the Mohabbat Khan Mosque in Peshawar.
Folk dances like Kathak are still enjoyed all over Pakistan and are a part of the local culture. There is also other dance traditions signature of various regions.Much of modern music developed during the early 1980s when Pop music was first introduced by Nazia Hassan, and soon followed by a burst of musical bands like the Vital Signs, Strings, and Junoon
Music has long been a part of Pakistani culture, and the country was greatly influenced by the northern Indian tradition of Hindustani music. Traditional and local styles abound. The ghazal a type of romantic poem, is often put to music. Ghazal singers such as Mehdi Hassan and Ghulam Ali have developed a broad following at home and abroad. Qawwali, a form of devotional singing associated with Sufism, is also widely practiced and has influenced a number of popular styles. One of its greatest adherents, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, became famous in Pakistan and the broader world. Traditional instruments include the sitar, rabab (a fiddlelike stringed instrument), and dhol (bass drum)
The variety of Pakistani music ranges from diverse provincial folk music and traditional styles such as Qawwali which is played by men clapping, singing and playing drums and Ghazal Gayaki to modern forms fusing traditional and Western music.
Pakistan is home to many famous folk singers such as the late Alam Lohar, who is also well known in Indian Punjab. The arrival of Afghan refugees in the western provinces has rekindled Dari music and established Peshawar as a hub for Afghan musicians and a distribution center for Afghani music abroad.
