The Kira is the graceful and colorful national dress worn by Bhutanese women. This full-length, ankle-grazing garment is wrapped and pinned at the shoulders and secured at the waist with a woven belt, creating a dignified and elegant look. It is typically worn with a close-fitting jacket called the toego, adding both structure and style. Kiras are intricately handwoven, often featuring vibrant patterns and traditional motifs that reflect Bhutan’s rich textile heritage and the artistry of local weavers. During festivals and formal events, women enhance their attire with traditional jewelry and a rachu—a richly patterned scarf draped over one shoulder, symbolizing respect and spiritual devotion. Wearing the Kira is not only a celebration of Bhutanese culture but also a proud expression of identity and tradition.
