The designs in Garhwali Topi holds symbolism inspired by the lives in the mountains and mythological tales prevalent in Uttarakhand. The diagonal lines represent the Himalayan mountain ranges, whereas the two parallel lines running on the top and bottom are a nod to the Ganga and Yamuna rivers. These two rivers originate in Uttarakhand and from there, they flow to other northern and eastern states of India, aiding the civilizations on their banks.
