Women generally wear heavily embroidered and embellished three piece outfits, consisting of a long flowing skirt, a tight midriff baring blouse and a a form of flowing scarf known as an Odhani or dupatta.
The Chaniyas and Cholis have differing patterns , with a wide range of motifs. Quite often there will be vast numbers of small mirrors ( known as abhla ) sewn into the garments which reflect the colours all around and about them.
Men also dress splendidly and colourfully. They wear pyjamas which are tight towards the ankles but flowy and billowy from the hips to the knees. They wear a tight fitting top which is widely flared at the midriff and swings around as they dance. Some will wear colourful and extravagant turbans. The mens attire is also embroidered and embellished with colourful patterns and small mirrors. Men will also wear colourful scarves
