German Chancellor Olaf Scholz received Meghalaya stole and Nagaland shawl as gifts from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 25. Meghalaya stoles carry a rich history and a royal lineage that dates back centuries. The designs used in Meghalaya stoles were highly symbolic and held great significance in the tribe's culture and tradition. The weaving of Meghalaya stoles is an ancient tradition that has been passed down through generations. On the other hand, Naga shawls are an exquisite form of textile art that has been woven for centuries by tribes. These shawls are known for their vibrant colors, intricate designs, and the use of traditional weaving techniques. The Naga shawl is not just a piece of clothing; it is a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of the Nagas. One of the most striking features of the Naga shawl is the use of geometric and symbolic designs.
