The Origins of Indian Lehenga Choli (Gharara Choli – Ghagra Choli)

Since the origin of Ghagra Choli it’s gone through only a few changes. Its evolution began when Indian designers started experimenting with its silhouettes and styles. But the basics still remain same as a traditional long skirt, the choli along with the dupatta. Brocade and silk are the fabrics which were used in making Lehenga choli in the Mughal period, but now you can get ghagra choli in every feasible fabric like: net, chiffon, georgette, velvet etc.
