Grass
Shoes are locally called 'Pullas' used as footwear in the homes
and outside. The sole of the grass shoes is made from natural
fiber called 'Bhang' (hemp). Bhang is a wild bush. The fiber
is procured from its bark. The upper part of the grass shoes
is made up of goat hair.
However, nowadays, acrylic yarn is also used due to its durability
and a colorful appearance. Upper part of the grass shoes is knitted
with hand in beautiful segments according to the designs. The
size varies from small to large. It is used inside the places
of worship where leather shoes are not allowed.
