The upper part of the body is covered with a long over coat called ‘Chola’ and the head is covered with a black turban called ‘Topa’. During winter a traditional shawl called ‘Chadder’ and a blanket known as ‘Lachhoo’ is used to save themselves from cold. A long shawl called ‘Pattoo’ is worn by women and they cover their head with ‘Dhatu’ or ‘Thipu’. The woolen slippers especially worn in winter are known as ‘Pullas’. The traditional outfit of Manali people is mostly hand woven in very attractive and eloquent colors.
The culture of Manali is marked with their bequest of folk songs and folk dances particularly performed at the time of tribal festivals. The songs sung by men and women together are mostly based on the various folk lores, gallantry of Kings, beauty of Queens and their life experiences. Some of the folk dances of Manali named Naati, Kayang, Karthi, Bakayang etc. are performed with the background music of traditional musical instruments. Naati is performed at the time of almost all the traditional festivals while other dance forms are performed at particular occasions.
