It is a form of festive wear, worn during special occasions. Agrun are used by both men and women. They are shuttle-woven and characterized by large-scale, symmetrical patterns, featuring geometrical shapes and stylized leaves and flowers[2] in colored silks with or without gold and silver threads. Traditionally argons used to be very large in size and would have birds like herons, ducks and peacocks, and trees like kadamba tree brocaded on them.
