The rignai or rignwai is a traditional wrap-around dress worn by Tripuri women, predominantly in the state of Tripura.[1][2] It is worn by wrapping it around the waist. It is worn in combination with a risa, which is a piece of cloth wrapped around the bust. It is worn by Tripuri women at home, in workplaces, and on particular occasions.[3][4]
