Women's clothing in India varies widely and is closely related to local culture, religion and climate.
Traditional Indian clothing for women is the saris or the salwar kameez and also gagra cholis (lehengas).
A saree or sari is a female garment in the Indian subcontinent. A sari is a strip of unstitched cloth,ranging from four to nine metres in length that is draped over the body in various styles.
The shalwar kameez is the most popular traditional dress for females. It consists of loose trousers (the shalwar)topped by a long loose shirt (the kameez). It is often mispronounced as "punjabi suit" or simply "shalwar" / "churidaar"in Southern India.
The women of Rajasthan and Gujarat often wear colorful swirling skirts called lehenga, paired with a short bodice called a choli. If they must cover their heads, they do so with bright veils called odhani. Popular among unmarried women other than salwar kameez are Gagra choli and Langa choli.

... Rajasthan provinces of India usually represent the outfit for foreigners, the lehenga is native to several other parts of India too.
Depending on which part of India one is referring to, the lehenga is worn in different styles, made of different fabrics and includes unique patterns.

A blouse is a loose-fitting upper garment that was formerly worn by workmen, peasants, artists, women and children. It is typically gathered at the waist (by a waistband or belt) so that it hangs loosely ("blouses") over the wearer's body. Today, the word most commonly refers to a woman's shirt[4] but can also refer to a man's shirt if it is a loose-fitting style (e.g. poet shirts and Cossack shirts).[5] Traditionally, the term has been used to refer to a shirt which blouses out or has an unmistakably feminine appearance. Blouse worn in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and other countries where the sari is worn. The choli is cut to fit tightly to the body and has short sleeves and a low neck. The choli is usually cropped, allowing exposure of the navel; the cropped design is particularly well-suited for wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cut-out backs and front-opening buttons are some of the features of contemporary designs.

Their cholis are often loosely fitted and heavily ornamented with embroidery and mirror work, or shisha embroidery.When wearing a semi-transparent kameez, women usually wear a sleeveless choli as an undergarment similar to a camisole or a bustier.
