Saree is the traditional dress of the women of Bengal
|
 |
The pattern and design of the saree of Bengali ladies showcased the rich tradition of the land. Sarees like Daccai Jamdani, silk sarees from Murshidabad, Baluchari and handlooms (Tangail, Shantipuri, Begumpuri and Dhoneokali) are very popular with the women of Bengal. Today, Bengali ladies seem to have a growing preference for salwar-kameez (long shirt or blouse and loose pants) and western styled attire.  |
