Jammu dress

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The people of Jammu have the following traditional clothing:

Ghagra choli

It is traditional for women to wear ghagra choli and the scarf ensemble which was also popular in the Punjab.[1] It is still traditional for women to wear the kurta with a lehnga,[2]< as an alternative to the suthan and kurta.

Peshwaj

The traditional ghagra choli was then replaced by the peshwaj for women which flows to the ankles which would sometimes be worn with a suthan (very loose pants with many folds).[3] The men would wear the Jamma (Mughal style shirt) with the suthan.

Suthan and kurta
