It is clear that it is the climate and astronomical ritual of the Kalash tribe that is performed in December and it is seen by astronomy with the help of local geography techniques.

This ritual of Suri Jagek is played in the three Kalash villages, located in the Hindu Kush Range, in which dawn and dusk is observed according to the local geography.

Because of new construction and development in the Kalash Valley, it is becoming difficult to observe the dawn and dusk in a traditional way as construction and trees obstruct the way of their view.

Due to that reason, the new generation is closely linked to the cultural significance and benefits of Suri Jagek, as well as the impression is that the lessons learned in the schools are far away from their heritage. The idea of preserving cultural heritage needs to be planned with immediate involvement in community and state.
