While the events are traditionally Indian, guests can where Western Formal or Indian formal attire.

Indian Formal Clothing Types:

For Women:

Saree (or Sari): A long, elegant draped fabric worn over a blouse and skirt (great for formal events like the ceremony or reception).

Lehenga (or Lehenga Choli): A skirt + crop top + optional scarf (dupatta). Very popular and festive, great for weddings!

Salwar Kameez / Anarkali: A tunic-style top with pants and a scarf. Comfortable, modest, and easy to wear (great for any event).

Indo-Western: Fusion outfits that mix Indian and modern style, often easier if you’re new to Indian clothing.

For Men:

Kurta Pajama: A long tunic with fitted pants. Simple, comfortable, and perfect for most events.

Sherwani: A more formal, structured long coat worn over pants (great for the wedding ceremony).

Nehru Jacket: A vest-style jacket worn over a kurta or even a dress shirt for a semi-formal look.

Indo-Western: Modern fusion outfits combining Western and Indian styles.

Tips:

Bright colors are encouraged—don’t be afraid of color!

You generally don’t need to worry about matching specific outfits to events unless noted.

Comfortable shoes are a good idea (there may be standing/dancing!).

If in doubt, cocktail or semi-formal attire is perfectly fine too.
