The Popular Traditional Garba Dresses

Chaniya Choli in Detail (Gamthi Chaniya)

The three-piece Costume is the Chaniya Choli. Each piece of it contributes significantly to the overall look. The Chaniya is essentially a wide flared skirt that often extends up to the knees. Most often, it involves mirror work, embroidery, and patchwork. The Choli is a fitted blouse that can have sleeves on it, either half or long. The dupatta, or light scarf, is to be draped over the shoulder or tied around the waist to become the last ornament of the Costume.

Kediya and Dhoti (Kafni Pyjamas)

Garba is often worn with Kediya and Dhoti. The Kediya is a short, flared tunic which fits well and allows freer movements. It is usually accompanied by Dhoti which are loose, pleated pants wrapped around the waist and legs. This dress is the best for Garba dancing, as the Kediya and Dhoti are loose garments, so they provide enough room to dance freely. Kediya is usually decorated with embroidery, mirror work, or some outstanding colors. The color and pattern will give an attractive look to both the Kediya and Dhoti. Thus, they are the most appreciated items for celebrations, festivals, and other occasions.
