  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.

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.
