Jharkhand Wedding Fashion:

Weddings in Jharkhand are simplistic. But simple doesn’t mean that the dresses aren’t rich or classy in terms of sophistication. In fact, Jharkhand is known for some of the finest quality of silk in India. The jubilance in dressing is widely seen and people prefer to wear richly detailed, cultured ensembles for the wedding. Traditionally, saris have been used by females and dhoti Kurta or pajama Kurta have been popular with males during the wedding. Vibrant hues used for women’s attire beautifully contrast the immaculate white colors in male dressing ensembles. At times, even females prefer white for the wedding, with beautifully blended borders on saris in bright tones like red and green. Silk as a fabric is popularly used and the variety of silk used showcases the family’s prosperity and wealth.

Men on the other hand wear only a single piece of cloth for their wedding. Known as ‘Bhagwan, this single piece is like a dhoti and favored by major tribes like Paharis and Santhals. On the other hand, nontribals wear attractive looking Kurtas with embroidery for the wedding.

Varieties in Style and Attire
