Punjabi clothing explained

In the Punjab region, people wore cotton clothing. Both men and women wore knee-length tops. A scarf was worn over the tops which would be draped over the left shoulder and under the right. A large sheet would be further draped over one shoulder which would hang loose towards the knees. Both male and female wore a dhoti around the waist.[1] Modern Punjabi dress has retained the dhoti, but over its long history has added other forms of dress.

The Punjab region had a flourishing industry in cotton during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when various kinds of coarse cotton clothes.[2] This cotton industry added to the richness of Punjabi clothing which exhibits Punjab's rich and vibrant culture in its dresses.[3] [4] Various types of dresses are worn based on different Punjabi festivals, local events and ceremonies.

Along with different traditional dresses special types of ornaments are also very common.[5]

Suthan

See main article: Salwar. The use of the Suthan in the Punjab region also called Suthana in Punjabi is a survival of the ancient Svasthana.[6] [7] [8] [9] Svasthana referred to a lower garment which can be described as a type of trousers. The Svasthana was in use amongst the rulers in the Mauryan era (322–185 BCE),[10] amongst the ruling classes in North India during the Kushan Empire between the 1st and 3rd centuries C.E,[11] during the Gupta Empire between 4th and 6th centuries C.E.[12] and during Emperor Harsha's rule during the 7th century C.E.[13]

The Punjabi suthan is a direct variation of the svasthana which can either be loose to above the ankles and tight around the ankles, or loose to the knees and tight to the ankles. The suthan is a male and female garment but its use is particularly important in the Punjabi suthan suit whereby it is worn by women with a kurti or kurta. It is also a part of the Punjabi ghagra outfit. Other variations include the choga (robe) and suthan combination.[14] [15]

Kurta

See main article: Kurta. The kurta with its side slits in the Punjabi kurta can be traced to the 11th century C.E.[16]

The straight-cut traditional kurta is known as a panjabi in Bangladesh, West Bengal and Assam.[17] [18] The traditional Punjabi kurta of the Punjab region is wide and falls to the knees[19] and is cut straight.[20] [21] [22] The modern version of the regional kurta is the Mukatsari kurta which originates from Muktsar in Punjab. This modern Punjabi kurta is famous for its slim-fitting cuts and smart fit designs. It is very popular among young politicians.[23]

Multani kurta

The Multani kurta is crocheted using Sajarak prints of Multan.[24]

Phulkari kurta

A Phulkari kurta is embroidered using the Phulkari embroidery of the Punjab region.[25]

Bandhani kurta

Bandhani tye-dyeing is popular in the Cholistan desert area of Punjab, Pakistan.[26] Bandhani patterns are used on kurtas.

Salwar Kameez

See main article: Salwar (Punjabi). A Punjabi suit that features two items - a qameez (top), salwar (bottom) is the traditional attire of the Punjabi people.[27] [28] [29] Shalwars are trousers which are atypically wide at the waist but which narrow to a cuffed bottom. They are held up by a drawstring or elastic belt, which causes them to become pleated around the waist.[30] The trousers can be wide and baggy, or they can be cut quite narrow, on the bias. The kameez is a long shirt or tunic.[31] The side seams are left open below the waist-line (the opening known as the chaak), which gives the wearer greater freedom of movement. The kameez is usually cut straight and flat; older kameez use traditional cuts; modern kameez are more likely to have European-inspired set-in sleeves. The combination garment is sometimes called salwar kurta, salwar suit, or Punjabi suit.[32] [33] The shalwar-kameez is a widely-worn,[34] [35] and national dress,[36] of Pakistan. When women wear the shalwar-kameez in some regions, they usually wear a long scarf or shawl called a dupatta around the head or neck.[37] The dupatta is also employed as a form of modesty—although it is made of delicate material, it obscures the upper body's contours by passing over the shoulders. For Muslim women, the dupatta is a less stringent alternative to the chador or burqa (see hijab and purdah); for Sikh and Hindu women, the dupatta is useful when the head must be covered, as in a temple or the presence of elders.[38] Everywhere in South Asia, modern versions of the attire have evolved; the shalwars are worn lower down on the waist, the kameez have shorter length, with higher splits, lower necklines and backlines, and with cropped sleeves or without sleeves.[39]

The Punjabi suit is popular in other regions of the subcontinent,[40] [41] such as Mumbai and Sindh.[42] It is also popular in Afghanistan,[43] where it is called the Punjabi.[44]

Punjabi tamba and kurta

See main article: Punjabi Tamba and Kurta. The Punjabi version of the Dhoti is known as or . Whereas the is of one colour and has no border, the has a border and is variegated so that it has more than one colour.[45]

Kurti

See main article: Kurti top. In modern usage, a short kurta is referred to as the kurti. However, traditionally, the kurti refers to upper garments which sit above the waist without side slits, and are believed to have descended from the tunic of the Shunga period (2nd century B.C.).[46]

In the Punjab region, the kurti is a short cotton coat.[47] Another style of Punjabi kurti is a short version of the anga (robe).[48] The kurti can be worn by men but women wear it along with the Punjabi ghagra or suthan.

Pothohari suit

Another style of the Punjabi suit is the use of the salwar which hails from the Pothohar region of Pakistan and is known as the Pothohari salwar.[1] The Pothohari salwar retains the wideness of the older Punjabi suthan and also has some folds. The kameez is also wide. The head scarf is traditionally large,[49] similar to the chador or Phulkari that was used throughout the plains of the Punjab region.[1]

Chola

See also: Sikh chola. The Sikh Chola is traditional dress worn by Sikhs.[50] [51] It is a martial attire which gives freedom of movement to a Sikh warrior.[52]

There are preserved chola relics and artefacts that were worn by the Sikh Gurus.[53] A particular Khilka-type Chola believed to have belonged to Guru Nanak has garnered considerable attention and study.[54] A preserved chola of Guru Hargobind linked to the tale of his release from Gwalior Fort with fifty-two fellow prisoners is believed to be preserved at Ghudani Kalan village in Amritsar district of Punjab, India.[55]

Punjabi ghagra

See main article: Punjabi ghagra. The Punjabi ghagra was the traditional apparel for women before the advent of the Punjabi suit. In modern times, the ghagra is worn by women in parts of Haryana, rural parts of south West Punjab,[56] parts of Himachal Pradesh[57] and during performances of Giddha in East Punjab.[58]

The ghagra has its origin in the candataka, which had become a popular garment in the Gupta period.[59] The candataka was a men's half trousers[60] which eventually developed into the ghagra. The intermediate formation has been described as a shirt like dress for men and women from the neck to the thighs.[61] [62] Candataka continued as a popular female dress in the seventh century.[63]

Punjabi Juti

See main article: Jutti. The Punjabi Jutti is the Punjabi version of the shoe. Local styles include designs from Patiala,[64] the Pothohari shoe with sharp pointed toes, and the Derawali shoe with silk embroidery and round tipped.[65]

Patiala salwar

See main article: Patiala salwar. The Patiala salwar was developed in Patiala and is very popular with women.

Saraiki shalwar suits

See main article: Saraiki shalwar suits. Saraiki shalwar suits are Punjabi outfits which include the Bahawalpuri shalwar suit and the Multani shalwar suit.

Bahawalpuri shalwar suit

The Bahawalpuri shalwar[66] originates from the Bahawalpur region of Punjab, Pakistan. The Bahawalpuri shalwar is very wide and baggy[67] with many voluminous folds.[68] The material traditionally used for the Bahawalpuri shalwar and suthan is known as Sufi which is a mixture of cotton warp mixed with silk weft and gold threads running down the material.[69] The other name for these types of mixed cloth is shuja khani.[70] The Bahawalpuri shalwar is worn with the Bahawalpur style kameez, the Punjabi kurta or chola.[71]

Multani shalwar suit

The Multani shalwar, also known as the 'ghaire wali' or 'Saraiki ghaire wali' shalwar as it is very wide around the waist, originates from the Multan area of the Punjab region. The style is similar to the Sindhi kancha shalwar as both are derivatives of the pantaloon shalwar worn in Iraq[72] and adopted in these locations during the 7th century A.D.[73] [74] [75] The Multani shalwar is very wide, baggy,[76] full and has folds like the Punjabi suthan.[77] The upper garments include the Punjabi kameez and the chola of the Punjab region.[78]

Fabric prints and embroidery

Block printing on cotton and other materials is popular in Multan which utilises local Sajarak prints.[79] [80] Cholistan, Bahawalpur and Multan are known for its tie-dyeing material which is popular in this region.[81]

The embroidery styles of the Punjab region include the styles of Multani embroidery which features kalabatun[82] patterns using thin wires. This type of embroidery is also common in the rest of the Punjab region. Kalabatan surkh involves using gold wires on orange coloured and red silk. Kalabatan safed involves using silver wires on white material. There are two kinds of gold embroidery, one of a solid and rich kind called kar-chob and the other called tila-kar or kar-chikan utilising gold thread. The former is used for carpets and saddle cloths whereas the latter is used for dresses. The Punjab region also uses mukesh embroidery: mukesh bati-hui, twisted tinsel,, flattened gold wire for embroidery of a heavy kind, and waved mukesh, made by crimping mukesh batihui with iron tongs.[83]

Ludhiana and Amritsar are known for embroidery using white, silver and gold threads on clothes such as and waistcoats .[1] Kangra is known for the patterns embroidered on its handkerchiefs known as Kangra rumal. The designs include representations of religious stories.[1] These rumals are also embroidered in Chamba.

Phulkari

See main article: Phulkari. The Phulkari is the traditional Punjabi embroidery used to embroider shawls and head scarfs in the Punjab region. Although Phulkari means floral work, the designs include not only flowers but also cover motifs and geometrical shapes.[84]

There is reference to Phulkari in ancient texts, folk legends, and literature of Punjab. In Harishcharitra, the biography of the Emperor Harshavardhana (590-647 CE), the last ruler of great ancient Indian Vardhana empire, the seventh-century chronicler Bana wrote, "Some people were embroidering flowers and leaves on the cloth from the reverse side," which is a technical description of Phulkari embroidery.[85] However, the earliest reference to the word Phulkari is in Punjabi literature in the 18th century Waris Shah's version of Heer Ranjha (a legendary Punjabi tragic romance) which describes the wedding trousseau of the female protagonist Heer and lists various clothing items with Phulkari embroidery. The first extensive English publication on Phulkari was by Flora Annie Steel in 1880 where she describes the various styles and exhibited the varieties in picture form.[86] In its present form, Phulkari embroidery has been popular since the 15th century.[87] Pal (1960) believes that no matter its origin, Phulkari work is distinctive and uniquely Punjabi.[88]

Luanchari

Luanchari is a full-dress made of two parts stitched together: the upper part is the choli and the lower is the lehanga.[89] It is traditional garment worn by Gaddis of Himachal Pradesh.[89]

Punjabi ghuttana

The Punjabi ghuttana was popular with women and men in the Punjab region, a type of pajama which is shorter than the full length pajama, and is tight and ends at the calf.[90] Its variation is still worn in Jammu.

Churidar pajama

The use of the Churidar is traditionally associated with the northern regions of the sub-continent. Although there is no consensus as to its origins, the churidar pajama was adopted by the former princely families.[91] In the Punjab region however, its use was amongst the general population.[92]

The Churidar is popular all over the sub-continent and was developed in the Punjab region, and is associated with the Punjab.[93] [94] The churidar pajama can be of any colour but traditionally is of sussi (cotton) material, in blue with vertical stripes.[95]

The churidar pajama is also known as the (full length) ghuttana.[96] When soldiers from Lucknow travelled to the British Punjab province, they saw the long ghuttana pajama and adopted its use in Lucknow during the 19th century.

Jama

See main article: Jama costume. The jama was worn by men in the Punjab region during the Mughal period. The phrase "jora jama" refers to the clothes given by the maternal uncle to the groom,[97] which points to the jama being part of Punjabi clothing (although grooms do not wear the jama now). A local style of shawl called the jamawar which was striped was used as a gown.[98] [99]

Anga/Angarkha

See main article: Angarkha. The anga (robe) also known as an angarkha[100] [101] and peshwaj)[102] is similar to a loose coat and wadded with cotton.[103] The anga can be worn by men and women. When worn by men, it falls to below the knees, is a loose tunic[104] and is fastened either to the right of the left.[105] An angarkha typically does not have front buttons.[106] Grooms traditionally wore the angarkha which has now been superseded by the achkan. The anga worn by women is a long robe.

Khes is a comfort object used in bedding and also as like a shawl- wrap[109] by men in Punjab, India, and Pakistan to cover upper body parts.[110] [111] [112] [113] [114] Khes was an important cloth of Punjab province.[115]

Even highly educated women pursuing careers continue to wear traditional dress in urban India, although men of similar status long ago adopted Western attire. The forms of dress most popular with urban Indian women are the sari, the long wrapped and draped dress-like garment, worn throughout India, and the salwar-kameez or kurta-pyjama, a two-piece suit garment, sometimes also called Punjabi because of its region of origin. Whereas the sari can be considered the national dress of Indian women, the salwar-kameez, though originally from the north, has been adopted all over India as more comfortable attire than the sari. . cs2.
