Cloths


Punjabi culture is truly amazing. The way punjabi people dress up is really cool👌.
 Kurta pajama(traditional dress) is worn by gabru munde (boys of punjab). They wear jalsa ( traditional footwear ) with their dress and also wear turban and make thier mustaches turned out with proud👳
Dhoti(a long and loose cloth wrapped around) is  worn by elder men  with kurta.
 Girls have patiala suit salwar with dupatta n tikka on head, pranda in hairs and khussa or also called punjabi jutti ( traditional footwear ). 
 Punjabi girls have a great excitement to get ready for any kind of function as they love to dressed up traditionally.  Punjabi clothing for folk dance is different from normal wear. No need to introduce about bhangra dress of punjab as the whole world is very well familiar with it. 
 Last but not least Punjabi dressed up with proud as thier style makes them different from others☺
