    Women’s wear

    includes the poshak, a long, flowing
    dress often embellished with intricate
    embroidery, mirror work, and zari
    (golden thread).
    • The odhni or dupatta is a long scarf
    or veil worn over the head and
    shoulders, typically matching the
    poshak in design and color.
    Men’s wear
    • Rajput men traditionally wear the
    angarkha, a long tunic-like garment
    with a flared bottom and
    overlapping panels secured with ties
    or buttons.
    • Paired with dhoti or churidar
    pajama, along with a turban called
    pagdi or safa, adorned with
    brooches or feathers as symbols of
    status and lineage.
    Kid’s wear
    • Children’s Rajput attire
    often mirrors adult styles
    but is designed with lighter
    fabrics and simpler
    embellishments suitable
    for their age.
    Military
    • Rajput warriors
    historically wore armor
    made of metal, leather, or
    chainmail, along with
    turbans or helmets for
    protection.
    • Military attire also
    included a dhaal (shield),
    swords, and other weapons.
    Religious
    • For religious ceremonies, Rajput men and women may wear special outfits
    like the achkan for men and heavily embroidered poshaks for women, often
    in auspicious colors like red, yellow, or green.
    Ceremonial
    Ceremonial occasions
    demand elaborate attire such
    as the jama for men, a long
    coat often embellished with
    gold embroidery, and the
    lehenga-choli or ghagra-choli
    for women, accompanied by
    ornate jewelry.
    Court
    • Courtly attire for Rajput nobles often
    includes luxurious fabrics like silk and
    brocade, with intricate patterns and
    designs symbolizing wealth and prestige.
    • Court costumes may feature detailed
    embroidery, beadwork, and use of
    precious gemstones to denote status and
    rank.
