The women in Rajasthan are always elegantly and colorfully draped in saris or ghaghra cholis. These silk or cotton saris are often embroidered to enhance their look giving it a touch of finesse that can often denote a person of wealthier resources. The embroideries are done with gold or silver threads and sometimes even incorporating semi precious stones as well. The less well-to-do in the community will however use colored stones, silken threads or such to create the floral embroidery to add a touch of class to the sari.
