Nowhere
else in India the costumes and ornaments of the tribals
are so exotic, colourful and divergent as in Chamba,
because Chamba has remained secluded and remote for
centuries, and it was able to preserve its rich and
cultural heritage. This book is packed with as much
information as possible with the help of field investigation
and surveys, supported by numerous photographs.
