Here I bring a part of my state called Uttrakhand
The term Pahari means people of Uttrakhand
The beautiful Pahari women of Uttarakhand are fond of wearing jewellery specially crafted in silver or gold, adding grace and femininity to their personality. If you have ever visited the hills, you must have seen Pahari ladies donning traditional jewellery pieces and costumes with great pride. But with time, these jewellery pieces are losing their identity as Pahari women are getting more inclined towards the contemporary modern designs and the traditional jewellery pieces have become a rare sight.
