Muhajir culture

Muhajirs consist of various sects, ethnicities and linguistic groups,[1] and are mainly concentrated in urban Sindh and Islamabad.

[2] Muhajirs, after arriving in Karachi, have revived their old culture, including numerous desserts, savory dishes, and beverages.

[5] [6][7] While less known dishes include qorma, kofta, seekh kebab, nihari, haleem, naan, sheer khurma, and tea.

Both Muslim men and women wear the shalwar kameez as a daily dress,[10] and kurta, pyjama and brightly-coloured waistcoats for special occasions.

[11] Other traditional dresses for Muhajirs include the sherwani for men, which is believed to have been introduced to Pakistan by Muhajirs;[12] the sari for women, which is an unstitched stretch of woven fabric arranged over the body like a robe;[13][14] and the gharara for women, which originated from the nawabs' attempt to imitate the British evening gown.
