Traditional clothing remains vibrant: women wear sarees (six to nine yards of unstitched cloth draped elegantly) or salwar kameez , while men don kurtas and dhotis . However, in urban centers, Western attire—jeans, shirts, business suits—is daily wear. Yet, traditional garments are mandatory for festivals, weddings, and religious ceremonies, symbolizing cultural identity. The recent revival of handloom and khadi (hand-spun cloth) reflects a conscious return to heritage.
