Baroh ngi tip ïa kane. 😄😄 Wat lada dang don ngai-ly-ngai ka por ruh ngin ap beit ban khap tyrsim da lah step 💅
We all know this 😄😄 Even if we have all the time in the world we'll wait for the morning to cut our nails 💅
The Khasis have a belief that says we should not cut our nails at night. What are your thoughts? 😄

This is a striking and regal picture of four Khasi women taken by Jean Baptiste Oscar Mallitte during the 1870s. The title states they are "Native Christians", who are perhaps a mother and her daughters? 😃😃
Ladies, please notice the simple yet sleek middle-parted hair, the layers of gorgeous "paila" (traditional coral and gold necklace), the traditional ear loop earrings, the "jaiñkup" (traditional shawl) of two women seems to be the "ryndia thoh rew stem" (eri silk shawl), the "nara" (traditional silk jaiñsem) with the beautiful intricate weaving at the bottom and those long tassels 😍😍😍😍 ❤️❤️❤️
If designers could recreate this look, it would be sensational!! 🔥🔥🔥
Does anyone know the name of the striped "jaiñkup" of the other two ladies? Also what is the traditional name of those lovely earrings?

"Jaiñkyrshah" in Khasi or "Kyrchah" in Pnar is a piece of clothing that is worn by Khasi and Pnar women. It is a chequered piece of cotton cloth that comes in different colours. It is tied at two ends and worn by slinging over the shoulder. The "Jaiñkyrshah" or "Kyrchah" is daily wear that appears to be simple yet it holds great significance. Besides being a practical apron for women, it emanates charm and dignity and voices a respect for one's culture and identity."
"Jaiñkyrshah" (Khasi) or "Kyrchah" (Pnar) sent by @levanylladkhar 🧡🧡🧡😄😄 Thank you for this entry!
The "Jaiñkyrshah" or "Kyrchah" is a distinctive piece of indigenous clothing that should be valued. It is special because women of all ages can wear it and always look good in it. 🥰🥰🥰
