LAHOR

The most commonly seen belt worn by the Pontian women (and still today) is the Lahor. The lahor, unlike the Tarapouloz, is made of a thick cotton and is only worn by the women.  
It has many patterns and colours, however there is always a more dominant colour in each Lahor which would match the women's cloths (Zoupounas or Katife).  
It has several methods of being tied to the body. It is first folded in half to create a 3 sided triangle. Then the 2 fare ends are tied together just above the waist (under the breast).
