short description
The traditional head gear of the Monpas living in Arunachal Pradesh of India is this fur-lined hat. It is made of a self-designed fabric and embroidered beautifully on its surface with floral designs. This is especially meant for cold regions like Tawang and West Kameng as it keeps the fur lining inside to keep it warm. Most of the subjects, thus, belong to the Monpas.
