The jaapi or jhapi is a traditional conical hat from Assam, India similar to the Asian conical hat which is made from tightly woven bamboo and/or cane.

The word jaapi derives from jaap meaning a bundle of taku leaves (Locally available leaves) In the past, plain jaapi were used by ordinary people in Assam and by farmers for protection from the sun, while ornate jaapi were worn as an assamese pride.

Hope you liked the photograph.
