Adi women in Arunachal Pradesh are central to their society, known as expert weavers on backstrap looms, creating vibrant textiles for clothing and home use, and are vital in agriculture (jhum cultivation), food preparation (including Apong), and preserving cultural traditions through songs like Ponung and leading some rituals, playing crucial roles in family well-being and community life despite patriarchal structures, with modern developments bringing new educational and employment opportunities alongside cultural shifts.
