It serves as a club, dormitory, guest house and a place for ritual and feastings. It is a center for social activities as well as a council Hall for the settlement of family and inter-tribal disputes. The Hujra is not only a meeting place of the villagers but is also used as a platform for the Jirga's meetings (grand community meeting) where important decisions are made and family quarrels and tribal disputes are amicably resolved. Hujra meetings can play a vital role in disarmament and mobilising people to take an action against small arms.
