Bori tribe, the latest among the many raw communities: An ultimate community born in Arunachal Pradesh, India, recognized for its tradition and craftsmanship. One of the most unique accessories they have is the cane lehenga-leather headgear with rich decoration houses intricately done basketry techniques. Apart from being a sort of ornamental piece, this headgear has a quite interesting and meaningful cultural symbol. It acts as a sign of strength, status, and a warrior spirit. Generally worn by menfolk only during festivals, ceremonies, and tribal gatherings. The cane framework gives it strength and longevity, whereas the leather cover would act as an aesthetic and protective covering. Use of natural materials depicts the Bori tribe's great bond with nature, attesting to their sustainable lifestyle. This headgear has been worn for protection and ceremonial purpose in the traditional warrior dances, hunting expeditions, and even outside this scope. Even now, it has an essential cultural significance- frequently displayed for tribal festivals, along with in museums and exhibitions as representation of the rich heritage of the Bori tribe
