The skills of weaving and embroidery have
been given a new dimension in Himachal Pradesh.
They have been combined to create traditional
outfits for well-crafted dolls known as
Himachali dolls. The dolls dressed in Himachal
style, complete with headscarves and adorned
with traditional jewelry of the State, are
almost perfect replicas of the women here.
Regional variations are also captured in
dress and jewelry. For instance, some of
them are dressed as Kulu women wearing pattus
while others represent gaddinis (sheep rearing
nomads).
