Music Festival

Some performing groups, drawn from the rural areas of the four provinces of Pakistan, participate in the National Folk Music Festival. These groups perform in their traditional folk costumes and also play their traditional folk musical instruments. A number of distinguished guests attend the colourful event and honour a maestro by placing a turban on his head.

In folk-lore, the turban symbolizes a great honour .The ceremony is called 'Dastarbandi' , and it is followed by a poetic position, called' 'Sehra', to eulogies the services of the maestro to the humanity. Drums 11 and coloured balloons are leased at this event.
