A lehenga is a traditional South Indian outfit, often worn by women for weddings, festivals, and other special occasions. It consists of a long, flowing skirt (the lehenga) paired with a fitted blouse (the choli) and a dupatta, a long scarf that is draped over the shoulder or head. The lehenga skirt is typically made from luxurious fabrics like silk, satin, or chiffon, and is often heavily embellished with intricate embroidery, beadwork, sequins, or mirror work. The choli is a short, cropped top that complements the skirt, and the dupatta is a decorative scarf that adds elegance to the overall ensemble.

Lehengas come in various styles, from traditional to modern interpretations, and can range from simple, minimalist designs to elaborate, ornate pieces. The outfit is known for its rich, regal look and is favored for its ability to combine comfort and glamour. Lehengas are particularly popular for bridal attire, but they are also worn for celebrations like Diwali, parties, and other cultural events, exuding grace, beauty, and timeless charm.
