Embroidered Indian ghagra
choli is immensely popular round the globe. It is one of the oldest form
of Indian lehenga choli developed since the times of tribals and nomads
as well as royal people of ancient times. Even today, the traditional
dress for women in Rajasthan and Gujarat is the lehenga choli or ghagra
choli. While the tribal and rural women preferred the embroidered
