  • A gharara (Urdu: غرارہ, Hindi: ग़रारा, Bengali: ঘারারা) is a traditional Lucknowi outfit, traditionally worn by Muslim women of the Hindi-Urdu Belt region of India. It consists of a kurti (a short, mid-thigh length tunic), a dupatta (veil), and most importantly, a pair of wide-legged pants, ruched at the knee so they flare out dramatically known as Gharara. The knee area, called the gota in Hindi-Urdu, is often elaborately embroidered in zari and zardozi work. Each leg of a traditional gharara is made from over 12 metres of fabric, often silk brocade. Ghararas originated in Awadh region of Uttar Pradesh during the era of the Nawabs. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the gharara was part of the everyday attire among Muslim women of the Hindi-Urdu Belt. Ghararas were also made popular in Pakistan and Bangladesh, in the 1950s and 1960s with popular public figures like Fatima Jinnah and Begum Rana Liaquat Ali Khan wearing them. Although they are no longer worn as an everyday garment, they remain popular as wedding attire among Muslim women of the Hindi-Urdu Belt and also among Urdu-speaking immigrants in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

  • Un gharara (hindi : ग़रारा, (ourdou : غراره) est un costume lucknowi, traditionnellement porté par les femmes musulmanes de l'Hindi Belt. Il se compose d'un kurta (une tunique descendant jusqu'à la mi-cuisse), un dupatta (voile), et surtout, un pantalon à large manches, froncé au niveau du genou afin qu'ils élargissent considérablement. La région du genou, appelé le gota en ourdou, est souvent richement brodé de zari et zardozi. Chaque genou du gharara traditionnel est fabriqué à partir de plus de 12 mètres de tissu, souvent en brocart de soie. Les ghararas sont originaires de la région de l'Awadh en Uttar Pradesh durant la période des Nawabs. Au cours de la fin du XIXe siècle et début du XXe siècle, c'était la tenue de tous les jours parmi les Musulmanes de l'Hindi Belt en particulier parmi les femmes des familles Nawab et Taluqedars. Ils étaient représentatifs du statut de la personne qui les portent. Bien qu'ils ne soient pas portés aujourd'hui en vêtement du quotidien comme autrefois, ils restent toujours aussi populaire comme vêtements de mariage entre femmes musulmanes de l'Hindi Belt et aussi parmi les immigrés ourdophones au Pakistan et au Bangladesh. Les ghararas ont également été rendu populaire au Pakistan et au Bangladesh, dans les années 1950 et 1960 via des personnalités comme Fatima Jinnah et Begum Rana Liaquat Ali Khan qui l'ont porté publiquement.
