Gharara
A gharara (Hindi: ग़रारा, (Urdu: غراره) is a traditional Lucknowi garment, traditionally worn by Muslim women of Hindi Belt. It consists of a kurti (a short, mid-thigh length tunic), a dupatta (veil), and most importantly, a pair of wide-legged pants, ruched at the knee so they flare out dramatically. The knee area, called the gota in Urdu, is often elaborately embroidered in zari and zardozi work. Each leg of a traditional gharara is made from over 12 metres of fabric, often silk brocade (see Farshi Pajama).
