Abstract: The Indian sub continent as we know is habituated by a multitude of indigenous races ranging from the Himalayas to the coastal plains and each has their own distinct attributes. In this crucible of cultures the Indigenous Lepcha tribe of the Sikkim and Darjeeling hills is an attractive proposition. The dress of any culture defines its refinement down the ages and in this study we shall try to get of a glimpse of this unique culture through its dress. The attire of the Lepchas is as unique as the tribe and a fair reflection into the ingenuity and resilience that this tribe has possessed to tide over the onslaught of time. The present study tried to study the socio-cultural belief of the Lepchas of Pedong, West Bengal. The methodologies included interview method.
