The culture of District Chakwal is primarily based on the way of living as taught inIslam; but owing to the fact that Chakwal before the independence of Pakistan was an area where a large number of Hindus lived, it is influenced by Hindu rites, rituals and even ideas. The ceremonies of mayun and mehndi, the extravagant expenditures made on feasting guests at death, the hosting of a lavish meal by the bride’s parents on the baraat, large dowries for brides are all of Hindu origin. Besides this, the people of Chakwal live a simple and straight life as enjoined by their religion. Although the cityof Chakwal has enriched cultural norms, and people are loyal.
