Baloch culture is rich with traditions, arts, and crafts despite Balochistan being an arid region of deserts and mountains. The Balochi language has roots in ancient Iranian languages and the culture is known for its tribes, festivals, and oral storytelling tradition. Festivals celebrate folk music, dancing, handicrafts, and horse or bull racing. Marriages follow Islamic principles and typically occur in teenagers arranged from childhood. Men wear turbans and women wear embroidered shirts and dupattas.
