kashmiri clothes name

Kashmir mainly consist of muslim population,so people mostly wear pheran because it

is warm land long to protect ourself from cold in kashmir as the temperature mostly

remain near 10 to 13.Kashmiri Muslims used to wear the pheran, a long loose gown

hanging down below the knees, a white turban tied on a skull cap, a close-fitting

shalwar and lace less shoes called gurgabi. A white piece of material is hung on their

shoulders like a stole. Hindu men wear churidar pyjama instead of shalwar. The less

affluent Muslims wear skull caps, which looks cute and does not carry any shawl.

The women wear the pheran, the voluminous Kashmiri gown, hemmed with a border and hanging

in awkward folds. The long, loose pheran covers their physique no doubt, but does not blunt

their physical appeal. Whereas a Muslim woman’s pheran is knee-length, loose and embroidered

in front and on the edges, a Hindu woman’s pheran  touches her feet. For the sake of smartness

and ease it is tied at the waist with folded material called lhungi. The long loose sleeves are

fashionably decorated with brocade.
