Tongan Ta'ovala

 Tongan Ta'ovala

A Tongan ta’ovala is something that most Tongans will wear to special occasions for example like a wedding funeral or to a birthday. .Ta'ovala are handmade by the females in Tonga. There are all sorts of sizes for a ta'ovala. There are some  large ta'ovala that people wear to a funeral to show how close they were to the person that died.

Some people use ta'ovala to decorate their houses. They use it to put on the floor in the living room. Some people flatten their ta'ovala under their beds and only take it out when they're going to go somewhere special. Some Tongans use ta’ovala for their new born babies to wear when they're going to get baptised or when there's a 21st birthday they have to wear a ta’ovala.

There are all sorts of different ta’ovala. There is another kind of traditional ta’ovala but another word for it is kiekie. Which is what the ladies wear to church or to a wedding. A kiekie is something ladies most likely wear  to church.
