The Khumri is a traditional rain shield used by the Khampti Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh. Made up of bamboo and cane, this traditional object is constructed to protect the person from heavy rains in this region. Measured in diameter as close to 47.5 cm, the shield is drilled in such a way that the user can put it just right upon the head and shoulders, thus offering coverage with mobility. The painted surface of the Khumri is often embellished by distinct motives and reflects the culture of the people within the tribe.The Khamptis are a people who mostly live in Namsai, and they are also known for their craft. The Khumri represents the versatility of the Khamptis at making bamboo and cane products.

It is an object of utility but also denotes cultural identity and symbolizes tribal artistry in detail.
