![Kalash men and women make their way to the <i>charso</i>, the village dancing ground, waving walnut brunches in the air. This practice is said to please the fairies and nature spirits living in the surrounding mountains.

The walnut branches also have another purpose – a Kalash woman may use her branch to select a prospective “husband”. This custom, translated into English as “marriage by elopement”, is one of the mischievous highlights of the Joshi festival, and may involve men and women who are already married.
