Taleno/Thumishalling Festival celebrated in Khanabad Hunza.
Taleno is celebrated on 21st December every year. On that night the people gather in common places to burn “Shri Badat”-an ancient cannibal king of Gilgit.
The story behind this ritual is that Shiribadat was considered to be taking a human as his meal. The people believe that every year it is complementary to burn the evil spirit of Shiribadat otherwise he may wake up again and will be dangerous for the people and all living beings of valley.
