Kurta , Shirt, Tunic : Costumes from India

Apart from the sari, ghagru and choli, another very important costume depicted in art is the kurta or the Persian shirt. These kurtas have an opening at the neck and slits on the sides. Some of the women's kurias have slits on the sides and give the impression of a four-pointed hemline. Another style of the Kurta was with a crossover flap and side openings, somewhat similar to the angarhha. The ankle-length fitted tunics appear to be of the Turanian Tartar style.
