Pursat's cultural is a unique amalgam of native ancient {{wp|Druze}}, medieval {{wp|Arabic}}, and early-modern [[Occidental]] cultures that have layered on top of each othe over the last millennium. {wp|Druzism}}, the majority faith, permeates daily life with its unique rituals and beliefs, celebrated in festivals like Ziyarat al-Nabi Shu'ayb, where {{wp|Druze}} pilgrims journey to the holy site of Nabi Shu'ayb. The [[Oddiyad Caliphate]] brought Islam and Muslim architecture and the observance of high holidays like Ramadan, during the medieval period. | |||
Pursat's cuisine is based on {{wp|Touareg}} staples like {{wp|taguella}} stew. [[Ebidi]] dishes like {{wp|fufu}} and {{wp|peanut soup}}, brought by the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonial-era]] [[Pre-modern global trade|slavery network]] and Arabic spices and ingredients like {{wp|cumin}}, {{wp|coriander}}, and {{wp|dates}} have also become regular aspects of Pursat cuisine. | |||
Historically literature was not a major aspect of Pursatieen culture. Oral storytelling, passed down through generations of {{wp|Touareg}}s and while they still remain an important cultural aspect of Pursatieen life, written works in {{wp|Aramaic|Pursi}}, Arabic, and [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] became a part of the ouvre during the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonial-era]]. Pursatnieen literature often explores themes of identity, cultural preservation, and the challenges of modernization. Art in Pursat thrives with lots of government subsidization. Intricate Touareg jewelry, made of locally sourced gold and semi-precious stones are internationally recognized signs of Pursat. Attire in Pursat draws on [[Audonia]]n traditionalism and [[Occidental]] modernity. Touareg men often wear the distinctive {{wp|tagelmust}}, a blue veil that protects from the harsh desert sun, while women wear colorful headscarves and intricate silver jewelry. [[Ebidi]] women favor vibrant patterns and flowing fabrics, while men often wear {{wp|dashiki}}s or embroidered tunics. Western-style clothing is also common, particularly in urban areas. | |||
