Greetings Steemians

It's Syed Sheham Hassan and this will be my first post in Steemit Nursery community.

It's wonderful to be a part of this #culture-contest arranged by @steemitnursery.
Because I am from Pakistan, it would be an honour for me to exhibit you my country's culture.

Culture of Pakistan


Pakistani culture is primarily based on the Islamic way of life, It is interwoven with South Asian culture. It is highlighted by its grandeur, simplicity, firm, convictions and noble deeds and ideas
I'll go through each component one by one:

Religions Uniformity

Pakistan came into existence to provide its people a system of life based on Islam. The people, in spite of some differences of languages, customs and traditions commonly follow one religion of Islam. This is the religion, which is practiced by majority people of Pakistan.


Arts and Architecture


The iconoclasm of Islam has given a characteristics form and pattern in the use of elegant designs, based on geometric figures and floral forms borrowed from nature.



The Shah Jahan Masjid, Shalimar Garden, Badshahi Masjid, Shahi Qila and many such graceful buildings are a living proof of the excellent Mughal architecture.


Language

A number of languages are spoken in Pakistan. Some of them are Punjabi, Sindhi, Pushto and Baluchi However, Urdu is spoken and understood all parts of Pakistan. Being the official language, it is the media of communication between all regions of Pakistan


Literature and Poetry


Literature is important aspects of our cultural life. Most of our aspects Islamic code and trend in their poetry. They gave the message of love and goodwill. Similarity of thoughts amongst poets and writers of all regions is an important factor of our cultural life.

Dress


The regional dresses of Pakistan undergo changes in the light of local traditions, economic conditions and way of living and wealth in the region. However, in all provinces people generally wear Shalwar Qameez and is considered as a national dress of Pakistan



Diet


Diet of people of Pakistan is quite simple; wheat, rice, meat is normally used. For drink, milk of cow, tea, coffee and water are used. Inshort, our eating habits, foods and social ethiquette are strictly on conformity with Islamic principles. Rice, wheat-based flatbread (roti, chappti, paratha, puri), lentils (dal), vegetables (sabzi), yoghurt, and fruits (served with a splash of salt) are also mainstays. Breakfast, lunch, and supper are the three primary meals consumed by the average Pakistani.


Handicrafts


Embroidery, leather works, glazed pottery, woodwork, carpet making, metal crafts, ivory are the essential parts of our culture.


The great enchantment generated by Pakistani hands may be seen in the eternal workmanship of brilliant semi-precious jewellery, magnificent furniture, colourful toys and dolls, sculpting gold, silver, and brass, cave paintings, and so on. Pakistani artisans are considered as the best in their artisanship.


Sport Activities


The recreational activities all over the Pakistan are common. The games like wrestling, hockey, cricket, football, squash, kabaddi etc are popular in every part of our country.


Festivals


Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha are our two main religious festivals celebrated here. Festivals like Independence Day, Basant, Mela Chiraghar, Nowroz etc are also celebrated. These festivals are celebrated with great happiness throughout the country.



So that concludes my post; I hope you now have a clear picture of Pakistani culture.
