Head Pad

Chakhaura

Type: Household Tools
Material: Cloth or soft fabric

The Head Pad is a soft fabric ring or cushion placed on the head to support and balance heavy items like firewood, water pots, or grain sacks. It protects the scalp and helps distribute weight evenly.

A symbol of resilience and labor, the Head Pad is a staple of rural life across generations. In the Tharu community, it represents strength, endurance, and daily contribution—often worn by women during chores.
