Banarsi Silk Dupatta to adorn Indian Women for every occasion
Dupatta has been an integral part of Indian wear since the Vedic period. Also called chunari, odhani or chunni, this piece of clothing has been romanticised for a long time. Bollywood has songs dedicated to this flowy garment. Several love sagas on the silver screen began while trying to disentangle a dupatta. Originally worn by both men and women, the dupatta nowadays is mostly considered a feminine attire. It has immense cultural significance as it symbolises the modesty of women. In different parts of the country, Dupatta or Odhni is still used by women as a veil to cover their faces.

Drape it with a lehenga, wear it with a salwar kameez or just don it with a saree, you can never go wrong with this garment. Dupattas have turned into inimitable style statements that can amp up the style quotient of any garment. Extravagant or subtle, there is always a dupatta to match your fashion sensibility.
