  1)      Nathuli – Nath is the charm of pahari women which id popular for its elegant style. It is  worn by Kumauni and Garwali women. However, there is a variation in the style and design but  charm remains the same. During any wedding, Nath is the star attraction and is celebrated for  its artistic design as it is one of the most distinguished ornament.

       2)  Galobandh- Galobandh is also one of  the prominent jewellery of Pahari culture.This  elite neck piece is donned by Kumauni, Garwali  and Bhotiya women and is only for married  women. Unfortunately, this elegant jewellery is  out of  fashion now and has been replaced by  modern jewellery.






     
 3)Hansuli- It is a popular ornament  clutched  around the neck.This is considered to be a  classic  jewellery piece  that brings out the beauty  of Pahari women. Hansuli is preferred in  gold by  the upper class and in silver by the lower class.
      

         
  




       



      4) Pahunchi- Panunchi are basically  bangles that are  made out of gold and are  very popular in Uttarakhand. It is considered  to be an auspicious jewel for the  married  women and is worn at the time of festivals  and  family functions.A red coloured cloth is used as the base  material on which gold is studded.
