CHOI-ANG: Traditional Red Shirt of the Male Karbis

Culture & Tradition: The Karbis have their traditional dresses which are artistically designed. These dresses are woven at their family looms.There are separate dresses for men and women. The aged men use an artistically designed shirt called Choy-nangpo and the shirt used by the young men are called Choy-hongthor. The men use a loin cloth called Rikong. But now-a-days most of the male persons have abandoned its use. Only in the remote interior place, Rikong is found to be used especially by married and aged persons. Karbi male wears a Choy-Aan (Jacket) with a Rekong-ke-Er (Loin cloth of red cloth of silk) with a Gamocha on his shoulders and a Poho of endi silk in his shoulders.The use of turban wears on the head by Karbi men called Poho which is also fast  disappearing.
