The lehenga, lehnga or langa or लेहंगा (also known as a ghagra, chaniyo, Paro, paavada, or lacha) is a form of ankle-length skirt from the Indian subcontinent.
The lehenga became a favorite attire for Mughal women of all ages and classes due to its royal appeal and convenience.
Ghagra in Hindi (also ghagro in Konknni), was also used to refer to the half slip or petticoat, a skirt worn as an undergarment below the sari.
A double-flared lehenga is a type of multi-layered can-can skirt with a dramatic flare and extra volume.
A trail lehenga has an extra portion of fabric attached to the back of the skirt to create a train.
