Costumes of Rajasthan are exceptionally lively, reflecting the spirit of the people and the culture of the region. The beautifully designed clothes lend cheerfulness to the dull-coloured monotone of the sands and hills.
Historically, men and women clothing has evolved from simple Langotas, and loincloths to cover the body to elaborate costumes not only used in daily wear but also on festive occasions as well as rituals and dance performances. In urban areas, western clothing is common and uniformly worn by people of all strata.n India men also wear long, white sarong like sheets of cloth known as Mundu. It's called dhotar in Marathi.
