Long, narrow, woven sash or garland. The length of the garland is white, with multi-coloured and white fringe at each end, which is grouped in sections and wrapped with multi-coloured thread.
The women make as many chitroiyak as possible in the lead up to a feast or social event. When the guests arrive, shouting praise for the clan giving the feast (or sometimes at a seasonal festival when people present their personally composed songs to the community), the women take out the garlands and drape them around the necks or chests of the person or persons they are honouring. The number of garlands given out reflects the amount of appreciation and respect being shown.
These textiles are finger woven.
