Nightlife

Culture and Heritage

The valley's prominent tribes include Tarin, Sarabgzai, Doomer, Syed, and lssakhel. They're all Pashtun people. The residents are quite friendly. The ladies wear shalwar (baggy pants) and long-skirted dresses with embroidered and mirror work, as well as a chadar ao Dupatta. With turban on their heads, men wear shalwar, Kameez, shirts, pants, and waistcoats. The predominant language spoken here is Pashto. English and Urdu are also spoken and understood. However, the local dish of Ziarat is saji.

Women's involvement in decision-making and economic activity is limited in Ziarat's patriarchal society, and their participation in public life is minor. Because women are solely responsible for domestic duties (such as bringing water, fuelwood, cleaning, childrearing, washing, and caring for animals), women carry a disproportionally large part of the workload. Although women contribute significantly to household income and are responsible for the household's food and basic needs, they are receiving less food, are denied property rights, have less access to medical care than men, their contribution to agriculture is generally unaccounted for, and they are occasionally traded as commodities under the jirga system. To supplement their income, many women sew and embroider.
