Download

The Galo textile is a traditional handwoven garment worn by the Galo tribe in Arunachal Pradesh, particularly Jesee Kooree, a lower garment worn by women during ceremonial occasions. Made from cotton harvested from cleared virgin forests, the fabric is intricately woven with symbolic motifs that tell the mythological story of the Galo people. The textile features alternating thicker and thinner threads, representing the bond between mother and child, and is often used in marriage ceremonies.
