a lehenga

“A lehenga” is a short form of saying “lehenga choli”. It is a traditional Indian outfit worn by women, consisting of a long skirt called lehenga, a fitted blouse called choli, and a dupatta or scarf. The lehenga is a flared, pleated skirt that usually falls below the ankles and is paired with a choli that can be sleeveless or have different sleeve lengths, depending on the design. The dupatta is a long piece of cloth that is draped over the head or wrapped around the neck and shoulders. Lehengas come in various fabrics, colors, and designs and are typically worn for weddings, festivals, and other special occasions.
