Rajasthani Dress
Against the backdrop of dusty land and sun-soaked
skies, Rajasthan is filled with opulent colours, the sparkle of
mirror and silver and precious stones, and the sheen of silk and
vivid kaleidoscope of cotton. The exotic and vividly colorful state
of Rajasthan is synonymous with majestic forts, stately palaces,
lakes, sand dunes, camels and people dressed in brightly coloured
costumes.
To add a dash of colour and life to the barren,
colorless landscape and the monotonous, cloudless sky, the people of
Rajasthan show a distinct preference for bright costumes. From the
simple village folk or tribal belle to the royalty, the preferred
colours are bright red, dazzling yellow, lively green or brilliant
orange, highlighted by a lavish use of sparkling gold and silver 'zari'
or 'gota'.
The dyers of Rajasthan and neighbouring Gujarat
were masters of their craft from the dawn of history. Their
unsurpassed skill is still evident in the costumes worn by the
Rajasthani people, both rich and poor. The study of the people of
Rajasthan is incomplete without the knowledge of costumes and
ornaments. The costumes of the present have the reflections of the
costumes of the past. Clothes express one's personality and
distinguish people of different places from each other
