short description
All tribal communities in Arunachal Pradesh, namely Apatani, Adis, Nyishis, and Wancho, have these headbands as geographical markers, identity-based markers, markers of tradition, and are markers of cultural pride. The open ends bear suspended threads for embellishment, while the yellow underside provides strength, which in itself can be used daily or ceremonially. The sap green stripes along the lateral sides are complementary and lend distinctiveness to the headband as an identity marker for a particular clan or tribe.
These headbands are widely worn for festivals, traditional dances, and rituals, thus telling stories of the tribe's heritage and craftsmanship. It is still one of the most sought-after accessories during cultural occasions and finds its way into tribal exhibitions and handicraft markets.
