Description: This video documents the Khiamniungan traditional woman’s necklace called Nacklact and the woman’s shawl, both of which are significant cultural symbols of the community. The necklace represents beauty, social identity, and cultural pride among Khiamniungan women. The shawl, on the other hand, is not only a piece of clothing but also a marker of dignity, tradition, and community belonging. Both items together reflect the role of women in preserving cultural heritage and carrying forward indigenous knowledge. This recording aims to safeguard and share the cultural meaning of these traditional artifacts for future generations.
