The Kutia Kandha are skilled in fashioning beautiful combs from bamboo splits. These combs are used not just to untangle the hair, but also as gifts of courtship in the community.
The Kapdaganda is a distinctive Shawl embroidered with traditional motifs in red, yellow and green worn by Dongria Kandha men and women. Embroidered by the women, the Kapdaganda is often exchanged as a gift between young lovers.
