Salwar
The Salwar, also known as shalwar, is the traditional attire of the Punjab region and is known for its lively hues, rich fabrics and embroidery. The salwar forms part of the Punjabi suit which features three items - a kameez (top), salwar (bottom) and dupatta (scarf). The women's Punjabi salwar suit style has become popular all over the sub-continent and beyond reaching even the remote parts of Ladakh. It is also the national dress for Pakistan, since the later 1960s with the Punjabi salwar being used in government offices.
