Lehenga

The lehenga, lehnga or langa (also known as a ghagra or gagra, chaniya, pavadai, or lacha) is a form of ankle-length skirt from the Indian subcontinent.[1] Different patterns and styles of traditional embroidery are used to decorate the lehenga. Gota patti embroidery is often used for festivals and weddings. The lehenga is sometimes worn as the lower portion of a gagra choli or langa voni. Ghagra in Hindi (also Ghagro in Konknni), was also used to refer to the half slip or petticoat, a skirt worn as an undergarment below the sari.[2] In wedding ceremonies around northern and central part of India, lehengas are the prime costume of a bride. Many varieties of bridal lehengas [3] can be found in such weddings.
