Dupatta

Dupatta (Hindi:दुपट्टा, Punjabi:ਦੁਪੱਟਾ/ਚੁੰਨੀ, دوپٹا, Urdu:دوپٹا‎) (alternative names include chādar-orni/orna (Bengali:ওড়না), chunri, chunni and pacheri) is a long, multi-purpose scarf that is essential to many South Asian women's suits and matches the woman's garments. The dupatta is most commonly used with shalwar kameez and the kurta, but is also worn over the choli or gharara. The dupatta has long been a symbol of modesty in South Asian dress.
