Ghagra choli

Ghagra choli is a type of skirt and blouse pair of ethnic clothing for women from India, notably in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Sindh,Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir and southern Nepal in Terai plains. In Punjab, the lehenga is traditionally worn with a kurti. It is a combination of the ghagra or lehenga and the choli (blouse).

In contemporary and modern usage lehenga choli is the widely used term by fashion designers, trend setters, and boutiques in India, since ghagra is synonymous with the half-slip (petticoat) worn as an undergarment below the sari.
