The culture of Kalash people is unique and differs drastically from the various ethnic groups surrounding them. They are polytheists and nature plays a highly significant and spiritual role in their daily life. As part of their religious tradition, sacrifices are offered and festivals held to give thanks for the abundant resources of their three valleys. Kalash mythology and folklore has been compared to that of ancient Greece,but they are much closer to Indo-Iranian (Vedic and pre-Zoroastrian) traditions.  Nevertheless, Kalash people in their own traditions claim to be descendants of Alexander the Great.
