Luanchari

The luanchari (Hindi: लोआंचरी) is a full-dress ethnic garment of India. It is made up of two parts stitched together: the upper part, or choli, is a kind of blouse or bodice, and the lower part, or lehanga, is a long skirt. The two parts are typically made from the same fabric, but may vary in colour.

The luanchari is commonly worn by women in Pahari miniatures,^{[clarification needed]} and is quite similar to lehanga.^[1] It takes well over 16 to 21 yards of fabric to make a complete luanchari.^[2] They are traditionally worn by the Gaddi women (Gaddnis or Gaddans) of Himachal Pradesh.^[1]
