Khoja culture

Khoja culture refers to the cultural practices and traditions of the Khoja community, primarily followers of Ismaili Islam, found mostly in South Asia, particularly in India and Pakistan, as well as in Africa and Central Asia. The Khojas are known for their rich heritage, which includes unique music, art, and cuisine, often blending elements from Islamic and regional traditions. Their community places a strong emphasis on education, philanthropy, and social cohesion. Celebrations and rituals often reflect their spiritual beliefs and the distinct identity shaped by historical migrations and encounters with diverse cultures.
