From traditional veil to the fashionable scarf the dupatta has come
a long way. The sheer magic of this attractive accessory gives that
perfect finishing touch to Indian dresses and western styles.Dupattas,
also known as chunnis, are a beautiful accessory to Salwar Kameez
and Lehnga Choli. Though normally co-ordinated with a salwar kameez
suit, dupattas today are even sported with tank tops and pajamas, or
evening dresses. Chunari is the term used for the famous tie and dye
work of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Rajasthani dupattas with tie and dye
strips in colourful contrast are known as laharia. Laharia means one
that ripples in the wind.
