A ghagra is a pleated skirt and is worn with a long or short, stitched and fitted blouse (the choli). The ghagra is secured at the waist and leaves the back and midriff bare. Ghagra choli is also worn with a dupatta, a 2.5 meters of light transparent material usually georgette. The dupatta is worn like a scarf or veil. Ghagra choli or Lehenga choli is one of the ancient clothing in which Indian sub - continent holds supremacy.
The bride’s clothes are usually typical of the area. In different parts of India, brides wear different kinds of ghagra choli with different adornments.
