A Khara Dupatta and jewelry worn by a bride in Hyderabad

The Khara Dupatta (upright stole) is an elaborate wedding ensemble comprising a kurta (tunic), chooridaar (extra-long slim pants that gather at the ankles), and a 6-yard dupatta (stole or veil). It is traditionally worn by Hyderabadi Muslim brides.

The ensemble

Sometimes the kurta is worn with a long, lightweight sleeveless overcoat or a shorter koti, a bolero-like waistcoat. The bride also wears a matching ghoonghat (veil) over her head.

The dupatta is usually made of net material and embroidered with zardozi work. The border of the dupatta has masala or a ribbon border with embroidered golden motifs.

The usual accompanying jewellery is:

Tika - a medallion of uncut diamonds worn on the forehead and suspended by a string of pearls

Jhoomar - a fan shaped ornament worn on the side of the head

Nath - a nose ring with a large ruby bead flanked by two pearls

Chintaak aka Jadaoo lachcha or Guluband - a choker studded with uncut diamonds and precious stones

Kan phool - earrings that match the Chintaak and consist of a flower motif covering the ear lobe and a bell shaped ornament that is suspended from the flower. The weight of precious stones and gold in the Karan phool is held up by sahare or supports made of strands of pearls that are fastened into the wearers hair.

Satlada - necklacke of seven strands of pearls set with emeralds, diamonds and rubies

Ranihaar - a long strand of pearls with a wide pendant

Jugni - necklace with several strands of pearls with a central pendant

Gote - Shellac bangles studded with rhinestones and worn with gold colored glass bangles called sonabai

Payal - anklets

Gintiyan - toe rings

How to wear

The dupatta is draped with the very top part of the middle of the dupatta tucked into the back of the chooridaar. The dupatta is folded into accordion pleats at both ends, which are held in place on the left shoulder with a brooch. The free ends of the dupatta are worn under the right shoulder and over the inside of the right elbow.
