The Dumlup is a unique type of cane headgear regularly worn by the Gallong (or Galo) tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India. This headgear is created using traditional basketry methods and stands for more than just a form of cover; it is the culture symbol that echoes the tribe's rich past and artistic skills.
Composed mainly of solid cane, the Dumlup bears a wide brim and crown tightly woven. It serves the dual purpose of protecting its wearer from the scorching sun or pouring rain, hence helpful and durable. The weaving method involves meticulous manipulation of cane fibers, which are perhaps handed down through generations, endorsing the inherent relationship of the Gallong community with nature and sustainable living.
