The traditional dance of the Bodos occupied a tremendous role in the Bodo society. In connection with the dance, dresses and ornaments of the Bodos are the symbol of their traditional art and culture in the Bodo society. Most of the tribes belonging to the Mongolian races in the North Eastern Region of India deserve the same character of dresses and ornaments. Their arts of such dresses and ornaments are intrinsic reflections of the nature within which they are shaped and moulded. They weave different kinds of clothes like Dokhna women dress for covering the whole Body Jwmgra (Chadar or orna or scarf of women), Gomsha clothe for covering the lower part of the body by man. Traditionally Bodo menfolk used to wear male garment called Gamsha to cover the body from waist down to the knee. Previously Bodo old man used to wear wooden footwear known as Khorom. There was no use of shirt in the past days. They only used a type of clothe known as Jwmgra made of Eri trade and a small cloth on the shoulder during the winter and summer season respectively. But now a days they put on modern dresses available in the market.
