Indian Lehenga choli has traveled a long way from Mughal royal courts to Wedding Pandals. It is interesting to know about
lehenga history, which says that it is attired by women since Mughal era. It has acquired the status of festivity wardrobe. Consisting of beautiful pleated skirt called Lehanga and tight fitting blouse called Choli along with the graceful odhni or Dupatta, lehanga tradition is driving women crazy not just in India but worldwide. Whenever we talk about Dandiya, the first thing that comes to our mind is
Chaniya Choli available in exotic colors and ornamented designs.It was very popular among royal ladies of the Mughal times. At that time it was considered as a dress that had the ability to bedeck Indian beauty in the most modest manner. Dupatta was actually meant to cover heads while offering prayers to God and as a sign of respect before elders. Even today, the essence of Mughal culture is very much intact and is depicted in traditional Mughal designs. This tribal outfit is so much in vogue that it has virtually replaced our traditional Sari in wedding pandals or Mandap.
Today, most of the brides chose to wear a
designer Bridal Lehenga in colors of pink, red and maroon on their special day. This garment has undergone some transformation in terms of styles. The gamut of
Lehenga Choli is very wide and ranges from Traditional cum
Embroidered Lehenga to Sharara, Garara and Lancha to specially designed
Indian wedding Lehenga. Though we have witnessed innumerable changes in its styling and designing but one thing is for sure that the fashion of
traditional lehenga choli will never fade.
