"Melodies of the World"

In Pakistani culture, songs are like the soul of celebrations. No wedding is complete without dholki nights where everyone gathers to sing old folk tunes.

The beauty of these songs is that they are passed down from generation to generation, and even the youngest family members enjoy singing along. The rhythm of the dhol and the clapping of hands make the atmosphere truly unforgettable.
