Traditional banjara dress
Women are known to wear colorful and beautiful costumes like phetiya
(as ghagra) and kanchalli (as top) and have mehendi tattoos on their
hands. The dress is considered fancy and attractive by Western cultures. They
use mirror chips and often coins to decorate it. Women put on thick bangles on
their arms (patli). Their ornaments are made up of silver rings, coins,
chain and hair pleats are tied together at the end by chotla.
Men wear dhoti and kurta (short with many folds). These
clothes were designed specially for the protection from harsh climate in
deserts and to distinguish them from others.
