The Punjabi ghagra (Punjabi: ਘੱਗਰਾ) is a four-piece outfit[1] known as tewar or 'ti-or' which was traditionally worn by Punjabi women throughout the Punjab region with the outfit comprising a head scarf (Phulkari), kurta or kurti,[2] ghagra (long skirt) and either a suthan (baggy trousers with a tight band around the ankles) or the Punjabi salwar (trousers).[3] In modern times, the ghagra is worn by women in parts of Haryana, rural parts of south West Punjab,[4] parts of Himachal Pradesh[5] and during performances of Giddha in East Punjab.[6]
