The lehenga is a voluminous skirt that often features intricate embroidery, embellishments, or prints. It can vary in length and flare, ranging from straight-cut to heavily flared designs. The fabric can be anything from lightweight cotton for casual wear to luxurious silk or velvet for formal occasions. The lehenga often has a waistband that can be secured with ties or hooks, and it can be adorned with decorative borders and patterns.
