			==Clothing==
			As a society which resides in the harsh climate of the Himalayas, their clothing is primarily woollen oriented which would keep them warm. Their attire stands out from the rest of Uttarakhand.

			'''Men's Clothing:''' Jaunsari men wear a woolen pyjama known as Jhangel (झंगेल) and on top of that they wear a woollen robe known as 'Choro (चोड़ो)', both made up of sheep wool. The Choro can be kept loose, or it can be tucked in both of the sides and can be bound at the waist with a woollen belt known as Manjan (मँजण). It can also be draped over the shoulders without tucking in the arms. As for headwear, traditionally men have been wearing Diguwa (डिगुवा) or popularly known as [[Gandhi Cap]] for a very long time, but in modern fashion men can be seen sporting a [[Himachali cap]]. During winters when it snows a lot people wear woollen shoes known as Khurshe (खुर्शे) which keeps the wearer's feet warm.

			Judo (जुडो) is a local variation of the [[Jama (coat)]] which was popular during early modern times. It covers the entire body like a gown, it reaches just above the ankles. The sleeves, shoulders, chest and back portion of the dress are embroidered whereas the rest of the region remains as it is. It is accompanied by a cotton/silk [[Katzeb\|Cummerbund]] at the waist, a white [[Pagdi\|Turban]] on the head and a silk shawl over the shoulders. It was to be worn by everyone attending the darbar of the [[Sirmur State\|Sirmaur]] King in its capital [[Nahan]] as the official court uniform in old times. Nowadays, it is worn during festivals for performing folk dances.

			'''Women's Clothing:''' Jaunsari women wear
			[[Ghagra choli\|Ghagra]] which is usually a 6 to 7 meters long piece of cloth, stitched together to form a long skirt, it's unique due to its sharp folds/pleats known as Luria (लुड़िया), such a texture is achieved by heat-pleating the folds. The portion which divides the Ghagra from the [[Hem]] at the lower portion of the Ghagra is embroidered with floral patterns which forms a strip which is known as Phita (फिता). The Ghagra is paired with a Jhagga (झग्गा) which is [[Jaunsari language\| Jaunsari]] for [[Shalwar kameez\|Kameez]]. It can be paired with a sleeve-less Waistcoat or it can be paired with a Kurti (कुर्ति) - which is an overcoat especially made for women, simmilar to an [[Angarkha]]. Women cover their head with a [[Headscarf]] known as Dhantu (ढाँटु) which is tied at the back of the head. For jewellery women wear Tungal (तुंगल), [[Bulak\|Bulak (बुलाक)]], [[Nose-jewel#South Asia\|Nāth (नाथ)]], Utraiyan (उतरैइयाँ), etc. A smaller Ghagra for younger girls is known as Ghaguti (घागुटि).
