- The dress for women for the lower half of the body is called Rigwnai in Tripuri and for the upper half of the body cloth has two parts Risa and Rikutu.
- Risa covers the chest part and the rikutu covers whole of upper half of the body. In the yesteryears these garments were used to be woven by the ladies by home spun thread made from the cotton, but nowadays the threads are bought from the market and the risa is not worn, instead blouse is worn by most of Tripuri women because of convenience. In present-day young girls are wearing rignai with tops also.
Rignai
Each of the clans of Tripuri has their own "rignai" pattern and design. The pattern of the "rignai"are so distinct that the clan of a Tripuri woman can be identified by the pattern of the rignai she wears. Nowadays there is inter-mingling of the 'rignai' and different clans are wearing 'rignai' of other clans freely and new designs are being woven differently. 'Rikutu' is a plain cloth of different color and shade woven by the Tripuri ladies
