Lehnga or langa, (also known as Ghagra or gagra, Chaniya, Pavadai and Lacha) is a form of full ankle-length skirt worn by women[1]from India which is long, embroidered and pleated. It was worn in old Hindu tradition and was believed to awaken the spiritual chakras of the body. It is worn as the bottom portion of a Gagra choli or Langa Voni. It is secured at the waist and leaves the lower back and midriff bare. In the Indian subcontinent, various types of traditional embroidery work are done on lehenga, with Gota patti embroidery being one of popular types for the festivals and weddings. In the earlier times, girls would wear Ghagra-choli. Today, this attire has become outdated. Even then, in States like Gujarat and Rajasthan, young girls and women still wear lehnga. Lehnga is one of the appropriate garments as per the Hindu culture and considered a sattvik garment at the spiritual level as well.
