Kurta

Thursday, October 30, 2008

Ever since Ben got his kurta as a gift from his colleague from India, he keeps wearing it. "loose, comfortable and I love the design", said Ben. Maybe I should go to little india one day to get him a few.

From Wiki
A kurta (Persian/Urdu: کرتا, Hindi: कुरता) (also kurti for a shorter version worn by women) is a traditional item of clothing worn in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. It is a loose shirt falling either just above or somewhere below the knees of the wearer, and is worn by both men and women. It can be worn with a dhoti,[1] loose salwar pants, churidar pants (a tight-fitting variant of the salwar), as well as jeans. Kurtas are worn both as casual everyday wear and as formal dress. A kurta is also referred to as a "panjabi," (usually spelled lower-case) in Bengal, Britain, and Canada.[2]
