Zindwear Women's Floral Design Woven Silk Blend Dupatta/Chunni/Scarf (Light Green and Pink)

The traditional dupatta has been worn in innumerable parts of south asia since centuries. At first, the dupatta was used to cover the head and upper body, and was worn with ghagra choli or salwar kameez.

The thumb rule of wearing a dupatta is that if the dupatta is very heavily decorated it is worn with a simple salwar suit and vice versa. An extremely decorated lehenga, for instance, will be adorned with a dupatta with light work or just a decorative border. It is an integral part in the classical dance kathak, where the dupatta made of a sheer material is looped around one shoulder going across the body and knotted at the waist.

Since it is worn along with a salwar suit or lehenga or churidar generally, it can be accessorized according to the occasion. A dupatta can on its own add glamor and exquisiteness to an outfit, without the need of too many accessories. Heavily embroidered chunaris can be worn with simple or plain kurtas or cholis.The key is to match the chunari according to the fabric and the style of the kurta
