It is associated with peace and clarity and tranquility, which are the core tenets of the tribe's way of life.

This is the traditional attire worn by both sons and daughters of the tribe. Dukli Dhutti unanimously is a very flexible garment. For a male, it is wrapped around the waist. For females, however, they can have a similar usage or use it within their more elaborate means of traditional attire for festivities and ceremonies or for day-to-day activities. The simplicity of the cloth goes hand-in-hand with understated elegance, all while being practical for daily undertakings. Apart from being a very functional piece of clothing, Dukli Dhutti stands out as the other vital item in the cultural identity of the tribe. It tells of the nature respect for the tribe and also tells that the tribe's bonding with things that keep their traditional practices alive has been passed through different generations.
