Lehenga-style sari

Like that of a traditional sari, the lehenga-style sari is worn over a petticoat (inskirt; pavadai or langa in the south, and shaya in eastern India, Lehenga in western India), along with a blouse called the choli, which is the upper garment.

Bagh, chikan, kashida, kasuti, kantha, sozni, shisha, and zardozi are some of the commonly practiced types of embroidery in the lehenga-style sari.

Bagh is a special kind of embroidery done by women in Punjab to be worn during festivals and weddings.

Mostly rich fabrics like silk, georgette, brasso, brocade, chiffon, crepe, etc., are used in the making of a lehenga-style sari.

Compared with traditional saris, the method of draping[2][3] a lehenga style is relatively simple and hassle-free.
