The khasis and jaintias are fond of jewellery, and the
women are specially partial to gold and coral bead
necklaces. A string of thick red coral beads worn by
them during festive occasions is called the paila. The
jewellery of the khasis and jaintias is alike and the
pendant they wear, called kynjri ksiar, is made of 24-
carat gold.
Exquisitely crafted ornaments of gold and silver and gilt
beads form part of Meghalaya’s rich dancing costumes.
The gold beads are not solid but the hollow sphere is
filled with lac. Many of these ornaments as well as the
head gear is decorated with diamond- like crystals of
metal. Amulets, bracelets, necklaces, and anklets are
manufactured locally. The Garo ladies wear a necklace
called the Rigitok which consists of thin fluted stems of
glass strung with fine thread.
Ornaments

• There are around twenty major tribes and

many sub tribes in Arunachal Pradesh,
India, and so it is no wonder that there is a
big variety of tribal jewelries in this region.
Anyway, you can notice some similar
elements: practically in all tribes women
wear numerous necklaces, bangles and
belts. Headbands too are rather common.
Multicolored strings of glass or stone beads
are most favouvered but in southeast
Arunachal Pradesh beads of agate stone,
brass, and silver are also used. Such
necklaces adorn the necks not only of
women but sometimes of men as well.
Every bead has its own value according to
