Rajasthan has a rich and long tradition of leather
crafts. Each village had its families of leather
workers. The juti, mojari or pagarkhi are leather shoes
and slippers worn by both men and women of all
communities. The mojari is tanned with vegetable dye and
has excellent thermal insulation quality. The process of
production starts with cutting the leather with a sharp
knife both for the upper and the sole. Stuck together
with home made glue, they are stitched with cotton or
leather thread. The upper is then embroidered by the
women whose finesse as they embroider these shoes is a
treat to watch. The embroidery is done directly on
leather using cotton, silk or wool threads depending on
the material used for the upper surface. Bright colors,
traditional motifs and contemporary designs are the
primary themes. The stitching is finally strengthened by
hammering. Beads and appliqué works are also becoming
very popular. Actual gemstones are no longer used as
they were used once.

Sari
A sari / saree is the traditional female garment in
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. A sari
is a very long strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from
four to nine metres in length, which can be draped in
various styles. The most common style is for the sari to
be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped
over the shoulder baring the midriff. The sari is
usually worn over a petticoat (pavada/pavadai in the
south, and shaya in eastern India), with a blouse known
as a choli or ravika forming the upper garment. The
choli has short sleeves and a low neck and is usually
cropped, and as such is particularly well-suited for
wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cholis may be
"backless" or of a halter neck style. These are usually
more dressy with a lot of embellishments such as mirrors
or embroidery and may be worn on special occasions.Women
in the armed forces, when wearing a sari uniform, don a
half-sleeve shirt tucked in at the waist.
Salwar kameez and dupatta
The salwar kameez is another form of popular dress for
females. It consists of loose trousers (the salwar)
topped by a long loose shirt (the kameez). It originates
from the state of Punjab in India, but now has become
popular all across India, and other South Asian
countries. It is commonly worn with a narrow scarf
called a dupatta, which can be used to cover the head,
or just draped over the shoulders. The salwar kameez is
most common in the northwestern part of India.
Men's clothing
The most common male attire consists of the dhoti and
kurta, worn in most of the western and central regions.
A sherwani is typically worn for special occasions. Men
of northern India and the Punjab may also wear salwar
kameez, often in plain white cotton, and top the kameez
with a dark waistcoat. The lungi (a type of wrap-around)
is worn in many parts of India, but depending on the
social practices of the region it may be restricted to
indoor-wear.
