Kho (Bhutia) or Bakhu (Nepali) is a traditional dress worn by Bhutia, ethnic Tibetans of Sikkim. It is a loose cloak type garment that is fastened at the neck on one side and near the waist with a silk or cotton belt, similar to the Tibetan chuba, but sleeveless.
Women wear a silken full sleeve blouse called honju inside the kho; a loose gown type garment fastened near the waist, tightened with a belt. Married women tie a multi-coloured striped apron of woolen cloth called pangden around their waist.[1]
Male members wear a loose trouser under the kho. The traditional outfit is complemented by embroidered leather boots by both men and women.
