Phagli celebrations
Shaun festival in Malana is celebrated every year on 15th august during Independence day. The local residents of the village gather, dressed up in their traditional attire. And if you ask me I believe that it is the best time to visit. The Malanis perform their local dance called Nati in the name of God and show their beautiful and wonderful culture. People from all over the Kullu district visit Malana on this special occasion. The Malanis on the day of Shaun festival offer their deity newly harvested crops as a tribute for their good fortune.
The residents of Malana village speak Kanashi which is believed as a dialect of the devil who used to reside in this village long ago. This Kanashi Language is believedto be a mixture of Sanskrit and several Tibetan languages and is entirely different from the languages spoken in the neighbouring areas. This language is from the family of Sino-Tibetian under the category of West Himalayas and only spoken in the Malana village. The interesting fact about Kanashi language is that being a pro normalized language it doesn’t require the subject and verb to be mentioned separately.

Read: Why Rave party in Kasol blew my Mind
every single word is true… these people called malana people surprisingly do allow their children to take chocolates from trekkers but only when you keep it down not in their hands… even the price of tea also were paid on ground and then they will pick it…. you do feel outcast in this village and you are always warned not to interact with them but still wonder why this village is so folded in itself whether its their culture or something elae
The more I read about this place the more curious I become, thanks for sharing.
