Lehenga Choli-Indian Traditional Dress - History , Origin & Types

Lehenga Choli , is a three-piece Indian attire. It comprises of :

Lehenga- a long Indian skirt.

Choli- a fitting blouse with embroidery.

Dupatta-a long piece of cloth worn along with Lehenga and choli that adds extra grace and elegance to this outfit.

Quite famous amongst the new generation in India ,this outfit is worn mostly on special occasions like weddings and festivals.

Lehenga Choli became famous amongst Indians after Mughals took over India during the 10th century. The Lehenga has evolved ever since , be it the stitching style, the embroidery , the fabrics like silk and brocade etc. Slowly ,the Lehenga became a royal attire during the Mughal era. This royal attire is now a statement of  fashion , rather than a standard dress for most Indians. We see elegant and precious Lehengas popping on our Instagram feeds during the wedding season.
