The Dupatta is an iconic and versatile piece of traditional South Asian attire, serving as a long, flowing scarf or stole that beautifully complements various ethnic ensembles. For women, it is an essential accompaniment to salwar kameez and lehenga choli, adding elegance, modesty, and completing the look. For men, particularly in devotional or ceremonial contexts, it often serves as an angavastram or ceremonial shawl, draped over the shoulders with dhotis or kurtas.
