Description
The traditional Kashmiri female costume is a testament to the region’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. It typically includes the “pheran,” a long, loose, embroidered gown, often worn with an underdress or “Poots” and “Churidar” for added warmth. The exquisite embroidery on the pheran reflects intricate Kashmiri craftsmanship and may feature motifs inspired by nature, such as flowers and chinar leaves. A “Kasaba,” a headpiece adorned with colorful threads and beads, is often worn to complement the outfit, along with traditional jewelry earrings and necklaces. This attire not only showcases Kashmiri women’s grace and elegance but also serves a functional purpose, providing comfort and protection against the region’s cold climate, making it an integral part of Kashmiri culture and identity.
