Chakma dress
The Chakma dress reflects the cultural identity of the Chakma community from the northeastern region of India and Bangladesh. Women typically wear a colorful, handwoven saree known as a "habji," often featuring intricate patterns and vibrant hues, draped over the shoulder in a distinctive style. Men commonly wear a simple, traditional attire consisting of a dhoti or lungi paired with a shirt or kurta. The clothing often incorporates symbolic motifs and bright colors, representing the community’s rich heritage and connection to nature. These garments are crafted with textiles that showcase traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations.
