In the ancient Punjab region, people wore cotton clothing. Both men and women wore knee-length tops. A scarf was worn over the tops which would be draped over the left shoulder and under the right. A large sheet would be further draped over one shoulder which would hang loose towards the knees. Both male and female wore a dhoti around the waist. [1] Modern Punjabi dress has retained this outfit but over its long history has added other forms of dress.

The Punjab region had a flourishing industry in cotton during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when various kinds of coarse cotton clothes. [2] This cotton industry added to the richness of Punjabi clothing which exhibits Punjab's rich and vibrant culture in its dresses. [3] [4] Various types of dresses are worn based on different Punjabi festivals, local events and ceremonies.

Along with different traditional dresses special types of ornaments are also very common. [5]

Suthan

The use of the Suthan in the Punjab region also called Suthana in Punjabi is a survival of the ancient Svasthana. [6] [7] [8] [9] Svasthana referred to a lower garment which can be described as a type of trousers. The Svasthana was in use amongst the rulers in the Mauryan era (322–185 BCE), [10] amongst the ruling classes in North India during the Kushan Empire between the 1st and 3rd centuries C.E, [11] during the Gupta Empire between 4th and 6th centuries C.E. [12] and during Emperor Harsha's rule during the 7th century C.E. [13]

The Punjabi suthan is a direct variation of the svasthana which can either be loose to above the ankles and tight around the ankles, or loose to the knees and tight to the ankles. The suthan is a male and female garment but its use is particularly important in the Punjabi suthan suit whereby it is worn by women with a kurti or kurta. It is also a part of the Punjabi ghagra outfit. [14] [15] Other variations include the choga (robe) and suthan combination. [14] [15]

Kurta

The kurta with its side slits in the Punjabi kurta can be traced to the 11th century C.E. [16]

The straight-cut traditional kurta is known as a panjabi in Bangladesh, West Bengal and Assam. [17] [18] The traditional Punjabi kurta of the Punjab region is wide and falls to the knees [19] and is cut straight. [20] [21] [22] The modern version of the regional kurta is the Mukatsari kurta which originates from Muktsar in Punjab. This modern Punjabi kurta is famous for its slim-fitting cuts and smart fit designs. It is very popular among young politicians. [23]

Multani kurta

The Multani kurta is crocheted using Sajarak prints of Multan. [24]

Punjabi traditional Salwar in India

A Punjabi suit that features two items - a qameez (top), salwar (bottom) is the traditional attire of the Punjabi people. [27] [28] [29] Shalwars are trousers which are atypically wide at the waist but which narrow to a cuffed bottom. They are held up by a drawstring or elastic belt, which causes them to become pleated around the waist. [30] The trousers can be wide and baggy, or they can be cut quite narrow, on the bias. The kameez is a long shirt or tunic. [31] The side seams are left open below the waist-line (the opening known as the chaak [note 1] ), which gives the wearer greater freedom of movement. The kameez is usually cut straight and flat; older kameez use traditional cuts; modern kameez are more likely to have European-inspired set-in sleeves. The combination garment is sometimes called salwar kurta, salwar suit, or Punjabi suit. [33] [34] The shalwar-kameez is a widely-worn, [35] [36] and national dress, [37] of Pakistan. When women wear the shalwar-kameez in some regions, they usually wear a long scarf or shawl called a dupatta around the head or neck. [38] The dupatta is also employed as a form of modesty—although it is made of delicate material, it obscures the upper body's contours by passing over the shoulders. For Muslim women, the dupatta is a less stringent alternative to the chador or burqa (see hijab and purdah); for Sikh and Hindu women, the dupatta is useful when the head must be covered, as in a temple or the presence of elders. [39] Everywhere in South Asia, modern versions of the attire have evolved; the shalwars are worn lower down on the waist, the kameez have shorter length, with higher splits, lower necklines and backlines, and with cropped sleeves or without sleeves. [40]

The Punjabi suit is popular in other regions of the subcontinent, [41] [42] such as Mumbai and Sindh. [43] It is also popular in Afghanistan, [44] where it is called the Punjabi. [45]

Punjabi tamba and kurta

The Punjabi version of the Dhoti is known as tehmat/tamba or laccha. Whereas the tehmat is of one colour and has no border, the laacha has a border and is variegated so that it has more than one colour. [46]

Kurti

In modern usage, a short kurta is referred to as the kurti. However, traditionally, the kurti refers to upper garments which sit above the waist without side slits, and are believed to have descended from the tunic of the Shunga period (2nd century B.C.). [47]

In the Punjab region, the kurti is a short cotton coat. [48] Another style of Punjabi kurti is a short version of the anga (robe). [49] The kurti can be worn by men but women wear it along with the Punjabi ghagra or suthan.

Pothohari suit

Another style of the Punjabi suit is the use of the salwar which hails from the Pothohar region of Pakistan and is known as the Pothohari salwar. [1] The Pothohari salwar retains the wideness of the older Punjabi suthan and also has some folds. The kameez is also wide. The head scarf is traditionally large, [50] similar to the chador or Phulkari that was used throughout the plains of the Punjab region. [1]

Chola

The Sikh Chola is traditional dress worn by Sikhs. [51] [52] It is a martial attire which gives freedom of movement to a Sikh warrior. [53] There are preserved chola relics and artefacts that were worn by the Sikh Gurus. [54] A particular Khilka-type Chola believed to have belonged to Guru Nanak has garnered considerable attention and study. [55] A preserved chola of Guru Hargobind linked to the tale of his release from Gwalior Fort with fifty-two fellow prisoners is believed to be preserved at Ghudani Kalan village in Amritsar district of Punjab, India. [56]

Punjabi ghagra

The Punjabi ghagra was the traditional apparel for women before the advent of the Punjabi suit. In modern times, the ghagra is worn by women in parts of Haryana, rural parts of south West Punjab, [57] parts of Himachal Pradesh [58] and during performances of Giddha in East Punjab. [59]

The ghagra has its origin in the candataka, which had become a popular garment in the Gupta period. [60] The candataka was a men's half trousers [61] which eventually developed into the ghagra. The intermediate formation has been described as a shirt like dress for men and women from the neck to the thighs. [62] [63] Candataka continued as a popular female dress in the seventh century. [64]

Punjabi Juti

The Punjabi Jutti is the Punjabi version of the shoe. Local styles include designs from Patiala, [65] the Pothohari shoe with sharp pointed toes, and the Derawali shoe with silk embroidery and round tipped. [66]

Patiala salwar

The Patiala salwar was developed in Patiala and is very popular with women.

Saraiki shalwar suits

Saraiki shalwar suits are Punjabi outfits which include the Bahawalpuri shalwar suit and the Multani shalwar suit.

Bahawalpuri shalwar suit

The Bahawalpuri shalwar [67] originates from the Bahawalpur region of Punjab, Pakistan. The Bahawalpuri shalwar is very wide and baggy [68] with many voluminous folds. [69] The material traditionally used for the Bahawalpuri shalwar and suthan is known as Sufi which is a mixture of cotton warp mixed with silk weft and gold threads running down the material. [70] The other name for these types of mixed cloth is shuja khani. [71] The Bahawalpuri shalwar is worn with the Bahawalpur style kameez, the Punjabi kurta or chola. [72]

Multani shalwar suit

The Multani shalwar, also known as the 'ghaire wali' or 'Saraiki ghaire wali' shalwar as it is very wide around the waist, originates from the Multan area of the Punjab region. The style is similar to the Sindhi kancha shalwar as both are derivatives of the pantaloon shalwar worn in Iraq [74] and adopted in these locations during the 7th century A.D. [75] [76] [77] The Multani shalwar is very wide, baggy, [78] full and has folds like the Punjabi suthan. [79] The upper garments include the Punjabi kameez and the chola of the Punjab region. [80]

Fabric prints and embroidery

Block printing on cotton and other materials is popular in Multan which utilises local Sajarak prints. [81] [82] Cholistan, Bahawalpur and Multan are known for its tie-dyeing material which is popular in this region. [83]

The embroidery styles of the Punjab region include the styles of Multani embroidery which features kalabatun [84] patterns using thin wires. This type of embroidery is also common in the rest of the Punjab region. Kalabatan surkh involves using gold wires on orange coloured and red silk. Kalabatan safed involves using silver wires on white material. There are two kinds of gold embroidery, one of a solid and rich kind called kar-chob and the other called tila-kar or kar-chikan utilising gold thread. The former is used for carpets and saddle cloths whereas the latter is used for dresses. The Punjab region also uses mukesh embroidery: mukesh bati-hui, twisted tinsel, gokru, flattened gold wire for embroidery of a heavy kind, and waved mukesh, made by crimping mukesh batihui with iron tongs. [85]

Ludhiana and Amritsar are known for embroidery using white, silver and gold threads on clothes such as chogas and waistcoats (phatuhi). [1] Kangra is known for the patterns embroidered on its handkerchiefs known as Kangra rumal. The designs include representations of religious stories. [1] These rumals are also embroidered in Chamba.

Phulkari

The Phulkari is the traditional Punjabi embroidery used to embroider shawls and head scarfs in the Punjab region. Although Phulkari means floral work, the designs include not only flowers but also cover motifs and geometrical shapes. [86]

There is reference to Phulkari in ancient texts, folk legends, and literature of Punjab. In Harishcharitra , the biography of the Emperor Harshavardhana (590-647 CE), the last ruler of great ancient Indian Vardhana empire, the seventh-century chronicler Bana wrote, "Some people were embroidering flowers and leaves on the cloth from the reverse side," which is a technical description of Phulkari embroidery. [87] However, the earliest reference to the word Phulkari is in Punjabi literature in the 18th century Waris Shah's version of Heer Ranjha (a legendary Punjabi tragic romance) which describes the wedding trousseau of the female protagonist Heer and lists various clothing items with Phulkari embroidery. The first extensive English publication on Phulkari was by Flora Annie Steel in 1880 where she describes the various styles and exhibited the varieties in picture form. [88] In its present form, Phulkari embroidery has been popular since the 15th century. [89] Pal (1960) believes that no matter its origin, Phulkari work is distinctive and uniquely Punjabi. [90]

Luanchari

Luanchari is a full-dress made of two parts stitched together: the upper part is the choli and the lower is the lehanga. [91] It is traditional garment worn by Gaddis of Himachal Pradesh. [91]

Punjabi ghuttana

The Punjabi ghuttana was popular with women and men in the Punjab region, a type of pajama which is shorter than the full length pajama, and is tight and ends at the calf. [92] Its variation is still worn in Jammu.

Churidar pajama

The use of the Churidar is traditionally associated with the northern regions of the sub-continent. Although there is no consensus as to its origins, the churidar pajama was adopted by the former princely families. [94] In the Punjab region however, its use was amongst the general population. [95]

The Churidar is popular all over the sub-continent and was developed in the Punjab region, and is associated with the Punjab. [96] [97] The churidar pajama can be of any colour but traditionally is of sussi (cotton) material, in blue with vertical stripes. [98]

The churidar pajama is also known as the (full length) ghuttana. [99] When soldiers from Lucknow travelled to the British Punjab province, they saw the long ghuttana pajama and adopted its use in Lucknow during the 19th century.

Jama

The jama was worn by men in the Punjab region during the Mughal period. The phrase "jora jama" refers to the clothes given by the maternal uncle to the groom, [100] which points to the jama being part of Punjabi clothing (although grooms do not wear the jama now). A local style of shawl called the jamawar which was striped was used as a gown. [101] [102]

Anga/Angarkha

The anga (robe) also known as an angarkha [103] [104] and peshwaj) [105] is similar to a loose coat and wadded with cotton. [106] The anga can be worn by men and women. When worn by men, it falls to below the knees, is a loose tunic [107] and is fastened either to the right of the left. [108] An angarkha typically does not have front buttons. [109] Grooms traditionally wore the angarkha which has now been superseded by the achkan. The anga worn by women is a long robe.

Khes is a comfort object used in bedding and also as like a shawl- wrap [113] by men in Punjab, India, and Pakistan to cover upper body parts. [114] [115] [116] [117] [118] Khes was an important cloth of Punjab province. [119]

Punjabi culture grew out of the settlements along the five rivers which served as an important route to the Near East as early as the ancient Indus Valley civilization, dating back to 3000 BCE. Agriculture has been the major economic feature of the Punjab and has therefore formed the foundation of Punjabi culture, with one's social status being determined by landownership. The Punjab emerged as an important agricultural region, especially following the Green Revolution during the mid-1960's to the mid-1970's, has been described as the "breadbasket of both India and Pakistan". Besides being known for agriculture and trade, the Punjab is also a region that over the centuries has experienced many foreign invasions and consequently has a long-standing history of warfare, as the Punjab is situated on the principal route of invasions through the northwestern frontier of the Indian subcontinent, which promoted to adopt a lifestyle that entailed engaging in warfare to protect the land. Warrior culture typically elevates the value of the community's honour (izzat), which is highly esteemed by Punjabis.

Churidars, also churidar pyjamas, are tightly fitting trousers worn by both men and women in the Indian subcontinent. Churidars are a variant of the common shalwar pants. Shalwars are cut wide at the top and narrow at the ankle. Churidars narrow more quickly so that contours of the legs are revealed. They are usually cut on the bias, making them naturally stretchy, which is important when pants are closefitting. They are also longer than the leg and sometimes finish with a tightly fitting buttoned cuff at the ankle. The excess length falls into folds and appears like a set of bangles resting on the ankle. When the wearer is sitting, the extra material is the "ease" that makes it possible to bend the legs and sit comfortably. The word churidar is from Hindi and made its way into English only in the 20th century. Earlier, tight-fitting churidar-like pants worn in India were referred to by the British as Moghul breeches, long-drawers, or mosquito drawers.

You can buy an entire three-piece salwar suit, or a two-piece suit that consists of either a readymade kurta or a kurta cloth piece, each with a matching dupatta. For these, you must have the salwar pants stitched from cloth you buy separately. A third option would be to buy a two-piece ensemble, consisting of the top and pants, leaving you the task of buying an appropriate dupatta, or using one you already own, or buying a strip of cloth and having it dyed to your desire. The end result will always be a three-piece ensemble, but a customer may start with one piece (only the kurta) or two pieces (kurta and pants, or kurta and dupatta), and exercise her creativity and fashion sense to end up with the complete salwar kurta outfit.

P. S. Uberoi suggests that the salwar-kameez is an Afghani import to Punjab (1998 personal communication). Punjabi forms of dress are therefore constructs or inventions of tradition rather than having historical veracity.

The village's men and boys largely dress in sombre colours in the loose trousers and long shirt (shalwar kameez) worn across Pakistan.

When entering a temple, Hindu women might comparably use their dupattas to cover their heads. Though the dupatta is often made of flimsy cloth and does not actually cover the body, its presence implies modesty, like many of the outer garments worn by Muslim women that do not cover much but do provide a symbolic extra layer, ...

This consists of a long tunic (Kameez) teamed with a wide legged trouser (Shalwar) that skims in at the bottom accompanied by a duppata, which is a less stringent alternative to the burqa. Modern versions of this National dress have evolved into less modest versions. Shalwar have become more low cut so that the hips are visible and are worn with a shorter length of Kameez which has high splits and may have a lowcut neckline and backline as well as being sleeveless or having cropped sleeves.
