The Kaogma festival-inspired costume is a jubilant ensemble. The lower part is adorned with vibrant paintings capturing the essence of joyous celebrations. The middle part features exquisite handicrafts meticulously crafted to reflect the region's cultural identity. From intricate beadwork to every detail, the costume showcases time-honored traditions, infusing it with pride and reverence for the community's heritage. The back of the dress, shaped like a pili nut, pays homage to the region's iconic symbol of prosperity and abundance. The overall design embodies the essence of the Goddess of Happiness and Joy. These elements are intertwined to create a stunning ensemble that celebrates the spirit of the Kaogma festival in all its colorful splendor.
