Starting with my very own blog today, i'd like to begin it with traditional wear. Being an Indian, choosing the perfect apparel according to the title could have been difficult but then came an idea to my mind. India has a reach to more than a thousand varieties of traditional outfits so why not give a shot to my own culture!
I am from the holy land (dev bhoomi) of India. Any guesses from which state i am from??Yes i'm from Uttarakhand(i'm a pahadi).
Being from the hills we experience chilled weather almost all year round.
The uppers or the top is known as a khilka. It is 3/4th sleeved due to the climate there. Traditional outfits there can be enhanced with beautiful jewellery
. 
The lowers are known as ghagra. They have got numerous alluring pleats which enhances the look of the outfit even more! The outfit looks beautiful with vibrant colors with not much contrast. The silhouette near the bottom region of the ghagra plays a significant role in the upgradation of costume from generation to generation. Looking towards the ancestral habits, the silhouette didn't play an inportant role.
The scarf worn on the head is known as dhantu. Pretty pahadi names of the outfit, right?
As the culture of India suggests women to cover their head as a sign of respect to the elders, Uttarakhand is too a part of it! But, in some way it is a multipurpose head cover. The pahadi's main occupation involves agriculture and when women are in their field to work with their crop, their hair is completely safe from the prodigious damage that the filth could cause. (intelligence overpowering since ages :D). The outlining on the scarf plays not much significant role.
The tradition outfits of nearly all northern India's akin.
