But it is not just another ornament; it speaks of strength and endurance. It provides warmth, comfort, and padding because this armlet is built from yak's thick coarse hair, especially when snow-topped mountains surround the Apatanis. The armlet comes out to be worn during festivals, rituals, or ceremonial observances of the tribe, signifying the richness of the Apatani culture.
