Kuhti

Kuhti refers to a specific type of traditional garment or accessory, typically a skirt or sarong-like cloth, originating from the Bodo people of Northeast India. These garments are often made from cotton and feature distinctive woven patterns. The designs can vary, sometimes incorporating geometric motifs or stylized representations of natural elements. Kuhti are traditionally worn by women, especially during festivals, ceremonies, and cultural events. The weaving process itself is often a significant cultural practice, passed down through generations. The colors and patterns of a kuhti can hold symbolic meaning and may indicate the wearer's social status or marital status in some communities. While modern clothing is common, the kuhti remains an important symbol of Bodo cultural identity and heritage. Its continued production and use help preserve traditional weaving techniques and artistic expressions.
