Pullas are traditional grass shoes cherished as comfortable and functional footwear. Crafted by twisting grass into rope and topping it with a woolen thread upper, these shoes are made from fibers procured from the bark of the wild bush Bhaang (hemp fiber). The upper portion of the Pullas is made from sheep wool, adorned with colorful thread designs, while the bottom is crafted from hemp fiber.
These shoes are lightweight, warm, and appreciated for their acupressure benefits. Ideal as house slip-ons, they offer a blend of tradition and comfort. Known by various names such as Pulla, Pulle, Peru, Pahadi Chappal, and Bhaang Ki Chappal, they have even been endorsed by Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, who gifted 500 pairs to the priests of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.
Himachali Pullas are perfect for temple visits due to their lightweight and respectful design and has been a part of Himachali tradition for over a century. These breathable hemp shoes possess natural anti-odor properties, along with antibacterial and acupressure benefits, making them both practical and culturally significant.
Embrace the heritage and comfort of Himachali Pullas, a perfect fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern utility.
