The Bodos have their own traditional dresses which are indeed very rich and varied. The Bodo women wear Dokhna which is their traditional dress. It is the most important and attractive female dress which is measuring about ten feet long, four and half feet wide. The Bodo women wear Dokhna from chest to the ankle. Dokhna has number of design such as Daothu Agor (dove’s neck), Pharwo Megon (pigeon’s eye), Pahar Agor (hill’s scenery), Mwider Agan (elephant’s foot print), etc. along with Dokhna they also used a wrapper called Jwmgra (a kind of scarf hangs on the shoulder) which is about two metre long and a half metre wide to cover the upper body. The Bodos produce Dokhna and Jwmgra in various colours and designs. The male members of Bodo used Gamcha, a traditional dress cloth of male. They also put Gosla (shirt) on their body from neck to hip.
