    Traditional attire for Rajasthani women is ghagra, choli (also called kanchli or kurti)
    and odhni. The ghagra is a full-length, embroidered and pleated skirt, which comes in
    a variety of colours, prints and fabrics, such as silk, cotton, georgette and crêpe. Of all
    the various prints, the laharia, bandhej, tie ‘n dye, chundri and mothra are the most
    widely worn. To impart royal elegance, antique borders and Jaipuri gota-patti work
    are incorporated to the ghagra. The kanchli, choli or kurti are the upper-body wear.
    These are colourful and intricately designed and shaped as per the specific body
    measurements an ethnic touch. For, they are embellished with mirror-work, beads
    and sequins, coral and shells, and creative-cut work.

    2.Women’s traditional accessories


    Elaborate necklaces, like Jadau sets, aad (chokers) and Raani Har (long necklaces to the
    belly button) are worn around the neck, especially by women from affluent families.The
    women of tribal groups such as Bhil, Meena or Garasia prefer wearing brass, silver or
    white metal ornaments. Kaanbali or surliya (earrings), nathani (nosepins), bajubandh
    (armlets), rakhdi or borla (maang tikkas), tagdi or kardhani (belly chains or waist), payal
    (anklets), bangadi (bangles), bichuwa (toe rings) and finger rings are also worn to
    complete the ensemble.

    3.Men’s traditional dress


    The traditional outfit for Rajasthani men is dhoti and angarkha, or pyjama-kurta. The dhoti is a
    long piece of cloth tied around the waist and wrapped around like a loin-cloth between the
    legs. It is paired with angarkha, a type of robe characterized by an inner panel that covers the
    chest. The angarkha is usually worn by the wealthy class. However, some tribal and pastoral
    communities have adopted it, reserving it for special occasions. The length and flare of this
    garment varies. The royal Rajput clan prefers wearing flared, ankle-length angarkha, while other
    communities and tribal groups wear knee-length or shorter versions. For everyday use, men
    wear angarkhi (or, puthia), which is short and tied with laces, not buttons.

    4.Footwear for men and women


    Both men and women in Rajasthan wear jootis or mojaris. They are leather shoes made
    up of sheep, camel or goat skin, complete with intricate embroidery and
    embellishments. While traditional footwear is usually black or brown, nowadays much
    more fashionable multi-coloured slip-ons are also available.
