Dress
Rajasthani man wearing a
paggar style of turban.
Traditionally men wear
dhotis,
kurta, and
paggar or
safa (kind of turban headgear). Traditional
Chudidar payjama (puckered trousers) frequently replaces
dhoti in different regions. Women wear
ghagra (long skirt) and
kanchli (top). However, dress style changes with lengths and breaths of vast Rajasthan.
Dhoti is worn in different ways in Marwar (Jodhpur area) or Shekhawati (Jaipur area) or Hadoti (Bundi area). Similarly, there are a few differences between
paggar and
safa despite both being Rajasthanl headgear. Mewar has the tradition of
paggar, whereas Marwar has the tradition of
safa.
Rajasthan is also famous for its amazing ornaments. From ancient times, Rajasthani people have been wearing jewelry of various metals and materials. Traditionally, women wore Gems-studded gold and silver ornaments. Historically, silver or gold ornaments were used for interior decoration stitched on curtains, seat cushions, handy-crafts, etc. Wealthy Rajasthanis used Gems-studded gold and silver on swords, shields, knives, pistols, cannon, doors, thrones, etc., which reflects the importance of ornaments in lives of Rajasthanis.
