There is not a single method that must be followed in order to correctly drape a dupatta, and as the years have passed and fashion has become more contemporary, the style of the dupatta has also developed through the years.


Q4. Which side should we wear?


Wrap it around your shoulders: If you want your dupatta to look exceptionally royal and sophisticated, all you have to do is wrap it around your shoulders.

Chiffon, cotton, silk, and linen are some of the more frequent types of fabric that are utilized; however, there are many more types of fabric that are utilized as well. You have the choice of choosing a dupatta in any of the many different colors that are available, and you are free to do so in order to accentuate or compliment the clothing that you are currently wearing.


Q6. How do dupatta carry heavy work?


You can show off a heavy, colorful, or stiff dupatta by draping it over one shoulder and letting it hang freely over your arm. This is a common way to display these types of dupatta. The characteristics of the dupatta can be seen in this manner, which is an effective way to do so. This is one possible approach that might be taken when presenting it to the audience.

To wear the dupatta, just drape one end over your right shoulder, then grab the other end and wrap it around your left shoulder. You may fasten the second end to your left shoulder using the pin. You can also drape your new dupatta by rolling the unattached end around your arm or wrist and then pulling it through the loop. It lends an air of refined elegance. This look is appropriate for both formal and semi-formal occasions, and it can be carried off while wearing a lehenga choli.


Q8. How to style a dupatta with a kurti?


If you want to appear calm and collected, a kurti is the way to go; however, is that something you actually want to do? Just by adding a white dupatta, you can take your outfit to the next level. Wearing a white suit with a brightly colored dupatta, such as a chanderi silk dupatta, and accessorizing with jhumkas and juttis makes for a stunning ceremonial outfit or Indian business attire. This outfit is the easiest way to appear effortlessly chic while maintaining a casual and carefree vibe.


Q9. What is a dupatta?

It is possible to wrap the scarf over the head and shoulders in an infinite number of various ways, and it looks excellent with a wide variety of clothing, from casual attire for the office to elegant evening wear.


Q10. How to wear a dupatta with salwar kameez?


With a design that only has one shoulder, you should let the dupatta drape down to the same length as the front of your salwar kameez. Because Anarkali suits have a significant amount of width and volume, this looks best when worn with one. This time, let it fall to one side, but not as much as the length of your kameez; instead, leave a large length accessible at the rear; this will enable you to grasp one side in your hand and draw it forward. Attending an aarti or puja, perhaps? Having your dupatta done in this manner is going to be really convenient for you.


Q11. What is dupatta called?


In certain parts of northern India, a person is said to be wearing a ghoonghat if they are seen wearing a dupatta wrapped around their head and face in this manner. Both a dupatta and a shawl that share a similar pattern are referred to as pachauras in Nepal, and both of these items are frequently worn there. In addition to that, either of these two interpretations of this phrase can be used interchangeably. In addition to that, the implications of this term are susceptible to change depending on the context in which it is used.


Q12. Who invented dupatta?


The use of the dupatta may have originated with this ancient Indic culture, since there is a sculpture of a priest-king whose left shoulder looks to be draped with a sort of chaddar. Considering the sculpture even exists, this is undeniably true. The use of the dupatta may have originated in this prehistoric Indic culture, and this fact adds support to that notion. [The Indian Civilization] That the dupatta was worn by people in this prehistoric Indic culture is strengthened by this evidence. Most likely, the sophisticated Indus Valley culture created this work of art. History scholars investigating the dupatta's origins uncovered artifacts from its first days of use in this area.


Q13. What does dupatta symbolize?


People used to believe that wearing it was a sign of decorum and restraint, which is why it was rather popular for them to do so in the past. Even though it is still worn because of the significance of the symbol that it represents, many people in today's culture only wear it as an ornament for the sake of adornment. This is despite the fact that it is still worn. There is no one manner that is universally acknowledged as the "correct" way to drape a dupatta, and as the years have passed and fashion has become more contemporary, the style of the dupatta has also evolved throughout the course of time.


Q14. Which material dupatta is best?


Cotton is a versatile textile that may be worn throughout the year due to the fact that it is breathable, lightweight, and pleasant to the touch. Additionally, cotton has a natural capacity to both take in and let go of moisture. Because the fibers are constructed using cellulose, the dye patterns and colors will be able to keep their vividness for a significantly larger amount of time. As a direct result of this, cotton dupatta are appropriate for use not only in informal settings, but also in more formal settings, such as professional settings. As a result of this, cotton dupatta are versatile in their application.


Q15. How do I style my dupatta?


The only thing you need to do is drape it across your shoulders: If you want your dupatta to have a more regal and sophisticated appearance, all you have to do is drape it around your shoulders. It is especially effective when used with dupatta made of cotton and linen. All you have to do is take one end of the dupatta in your right hand and drape it over your right shoulder, then grab the other end of the dupatta in your left hand and wrap it around your left shoulder. You should be able to secure the remaining end of the strap around your left shoulder.


Q16. Where does the dupatta come from?


There is evidence that the Indus Valley Civilization was responsible for the development of some of the traditional garb used on the Indian subcontinent, such as the lehenga-choli and the salwar kameez. These clothes were first developed by this civilization, which is credited with their development. It is conceivable that the history of the dupatta is connected to these clothes in some way.
