short description
Even though Apatani mostly inhabit Arunachal Pradesh, the people wear very distinct traditional costumes. The off-white scarf is sharply striped in yellow and blue. Thus the scarf has its cultural significance and is considered an identity and symbol of tradition.
The superfine hand-woven scarf creates a comfortable and elegant aura for the man who wears it. The border stripes of yellow and blue provide further life to the scarf by giving a contrasting tone against the off-white body. The finer details show the craftsmanship of the Apatani people and their unwavering connection with traditional weaving.
Cultural ceremonies, festivals, and daily life have seen the prominence of this scarf among the Apatani. It signifies their indigenous artistry and is also an icon of their rich textile heritage. The use of natural dyes and sources indicates that the tribe stays true to its sustainable, eco-friendly ethos.
In many ways, this scarf is therefore part of the Apatani woman's clothing and aesthetics, inherited through several generations and keeping Arunachal Pradesh's specific cultural identity of the tribe alive.
