The victory of the salwar is most conspicuous not in big cities like Bangalore, but in the smaller towns of the hinterland. |
Mostly into Indian wear, the designs here range from the popular three-piece salwar kameez to Indo-western styles and churidar kameez. |
Women often wear a salwar kameez to their work, the sari is for formal occasions or reserved for women in a high position. |
Girls in brightly coloured salwar kameez hurry past on their way to school or to visit friends. |
Sometimes a ghaghra, a long skirt dating back to Mogul times, replaces the salwar. |
The standard clothing of men all over Pakistan is the salwar, loose baggy trousers, and kurta, a long shirtlike tunic. |
