- Origins: The lehenga and chunri evolved through centuries of South Asian sartorial practices. Lehengas trace lineage to Mughal-era court attire (ghagra/lehenga), later assimilating regional folk forms. Chunri/dupatta has older antecedents as veils and sashes in Indic traditions, serving both functional and ritual roles.
