Traditional Attire - Runga Byanthlo

Mom-Dad in traditional attire-Year 2014
This post is the continuation of the previous post (which covered the tradition attire for women). The current post covers the traditional attire which is being wore by the men in Rung Community.
It is an off-white single piece dress and being wore at the outermost layer like any other overcoat. A white clothes is tied at the waist level which is called the Jajyo-Jang. This attire is not complete without Bynthalo (a traditional turban) and sword & boards.
During Kangdali Festival-Year 1999

During olden days the fabric was being hand made at home using the handmade wool's. The the overcoat is self stitched with the hand made fabric. In those days this was the regular clothes which men used to wear, since it used to help them from cold breeze as it was made out of pure wool.

These days the traditional attire is wore occasionally during wedding, festivals or other important ceremonies. The same old fabric construction technique is not being used anymore as the ready-made fabric is easily available and you do get tailors to stitch this overcoat for you.
