A krama (/krɒˈmɑː/; Khmer: ក្រមា /krɑmaa/ [krɑːmaː])[1] is a sturdy traditional Cambodian garment with many uses, including as a scarf, bandanna, to cover the face, for decorative purposes, and as a hammock for children.[2] It may also be used as a garrote by Bokator fighters, who also wrap the krama around their waists, heads and fists.[3] It is worn by men, women and children, and can be fairly ornate, though most typical kramas contain a gingham pattern of some sort, and traditionally come in either red or blue. It is the Cambodian national symbol.
