These leggies are an outfit of the Angami Naga, a tribe found in Nagaland. Actually, they're supposed to be worn by the men during ceremonial or festive occasions, while they could be viewed showcasing tribal identity and very nice handiwork.
The leggings are two-toned-red on top and broad; below it is yellow, forming a marvelous contrast. The upper half is fully embellished with geometrical designs painstakingly created from orchid skin, a natural and available local raw material, symbolic of aesthetics and earthiness. These leggings were not just the dresses; they were status symbols, worn specially for dancing or rituals or even for warriors' functions. Geometrical designs signify tribal symbols, ancestral heritage, and clan identity.
