    We all are well aware of the fact that India is a diverse and culturally rich country. There are a lot of different communities with different traditions. No wonder that we have such a huge diversity even in traditional dresses. One such state that has a phenomenal array of colourful and vibrant costumes is Bihar.

    Bihar is known for its Bodh Gaya, the “Litti-Chokha”, and now also for their traditional attire. But what are the Bihar dress images that come to your mind when you think of it? Can’t figure out much? No problem, let’s get it done with this list of traditional dresses of Bihar.

    Bihari Costumes that you can include in your wardrobe in 2023

    1. Tussar Silk Saree

    Tussar Silk Saree is one of the most important and popular attire that Biharis love to wear. Ladies and even girls love to flaunt the saree. It is the unique and bright colorful style of this saree that attracts women a lot. Not just this, Tussar is known to be an era long attire. The existence of such artistic dress dates back to the ancient era. The attire is worn by the ladies in a similar way as that of a normal saree, but one has to keep in mind that that pallu is taken around the shoulder (although the trend keeps changing.)

    Usually, this saree is made of either silk or cotton, but over time there have been a lot of tweaking and now you get multiple material options. The main element of this silk saree is the broad embroidery on the edges. And the pallu of the saree is made differently.

    2. Dhoti Mirjai

    Where dhoti kurta is popular in multiple places, it won’t be wrong to say that Dhoti Mirjai is the speciality of Bihar. Where dhoti and kurta is usually worn by elderly men, Mirjai is chosen by younger people here. It’s colorful and looks amazing if done right. You do not have to carry it with other accessories because the majority of these already have heavy embroidery or prints.

    Mirjai is a combination of shirt and kurta and you get both the options here. You can buy a shirt-looking Mirjai or go for one which is like a kurta. We believe you are going to love this attire and just for additional information- it can also be worn with a pair of jeans.

    3. Kurta Pajama

    As we have already discussed that Kurta Pajama is for elderly people; we believe it should be mentioned. Kurta Pajama is the attire of a lot of places. And you will love to wear a comfortable dress. Mostly you will see people wearing a colorful Kurta with contrasting pajama. But if you have a look at the elderly people, they usually wear white color clothes. That’s how people in Bihar dress on a normal day. Where young people love to wear colorful dresses and the opposite happens when it is for elderly people.

    Kurta Pajama is a complete dress but many people here in Bihar don’t like to wear it alone. They love pairing it with vest-coats of different styles. A plain solid Kurta Pajama with a colorful printed vest-coat. That’s one of the best combinations you will see in the state.

    4. Dhoti

    If you are looking for options, Bihar has a lot of them in its possession. One of them is Dhoti which is again a bottom wear for men. It is wrapped around the waist to cover the bottom part. In some regions, you will see people wearing their dhotis a bit differently. One way is to wrap it around and leave it straight.

    On the other hand, you have the dhoti where one end from the bottom is picked across to the backside. And then tucked in the waist.

    5. Saree-Lehenga

    This is a mixture of Saree and Lehenga which is worn mostly by ladies on occasions. From marriages to festivals, this is an attire that looks charming. It comes in a lot of colorful patterns and designs. Just have a look at the options that are available in the market before freezing an option. It is undoubtedly a jaw-dropping stylish outfit that can be worn on multiple occasions.

    This is an attire that looks like a lehenga from the bottom but is taken with a pallu already attached to the lehenga. Which is why it is termed as a saree-lehenga.

    6. Sherwani

    There is no hustle in the marriage attire worn by Bihari men. Sherwani is one of the most popular clothes that you will see in marriages that are worn. There are a lot of options that you can get in this attire because of its popularity all over the country.

    There is an embroidery jacket that is made in different sizes and colors. From embroideries to prints and handcrafted “jari-works”, you will get endless options in this attire. Be it the work, style, or color- Sherwani is top-notch men’s wear in India.

    7. Lungi

    Known to be a very comfortable bottom wear- the lungi is widely worn and loved by people across the country. It is one of the traditional dresses of Bihar but can be spotted in multiple states and cities. From north to south; the lungi is extensively worn by men. And in many places, this attire is casually worn by females as well. The comfort of is lungi is remarkable and that’s one of the causes why it is so popular. Cotton is an extensively used fabric for this cloth.

    8. Panchlari

    We all know how important it is to wear accessories to look good and more importantly- complete the look. On special occasions; especially when a woman becomes a bride- Panchlari is an ornament that’s worn by them. It is a necklace that is made of gold traditionally and has 5 layers.

    Conclusion

    Bihar is considered to be a very backward state of the country but there are so many good things about it too. Not only is Bodh Gaya considered to be one of the finest attractions of the country but even its dishes as well. There is no dearth of other attractions throughout the state. And now with the help of this blog, we have established the fact that the traditional dresses of Bihar are also their USP.
