Rachu

It´s the women´s ceremonial scarf to be used for special occasion and visit to the temple.

It is worn by bhutanese women on top of the Kira, the national dress for women. It is usually worn on the left shoulder. Some Rachus represents women’s profession. However, most of the women wear the red color Rachu with different intricate designs. The Rachu is used as a way of showing respect while visiting temples, attaining official meetings, meeting high officials, and celebrating festivals. The Rachu also plays an important role in protecting and promoting Bhutanese culture and tradition.

The Rachu in this collection is about 100 years old and made of rawsilk and it is vegetable dyed.
