Bridal Lehngas


Lahenga or Langa and choli are a traditional Pakistani and Indian dress of women . The Langa is worn below waistline and extends to the toe, upper part of the body is covered with a choli. In South India, it is known as Langa. In Punjabi, it's known as a "lehnga". It is also sometimes referred to as "Ghagra choli".



A ghagra or lenga is a pleated skirt and is worn with a long or short, stitched and fitted blouse (the choli). The ghagra is secured at the waist and leaves the back and midriff bare. Ghagra choli is also worn with a dupatta, a 2.5 meters of light transparent material usually georgette. The dupatta is worn like a scarf or veil.
In modern times ghagra choli or lehenga choli are exotic clothing with embroidery using stones, kundan, zari, crystals, kori, resham, mirrors, sequins and some times real gold threads. Some designers use intricate brocade, tanchoi and heavy satins even with real gold and silver embroidery, studded with precious stones. Like the ghagra choli the dupatta also has embroidery.More DsignsSEE MORE
