Kashmir Pundit brides wear beautifully embroidered lehengas, usually red in colour with a lot of glitz. If not Red, it can be Pink or Yellow in colour. \u00a0They also wear a head gear known as Kalpush.<\/em> It is an extensive cap folded three or four times and is lined either with silk or cotton from the inside. A white color cloth known as\u00a0Zoojh<\/em> is wrapped in three to four layers over\u00a0Kalpush and a <\/em>glace paper is stitched over the Zoojh<\/em>. This entire head wear is known as\u00a0Tarang<\/em>. The lehenga has a lot of zari\u00a0work done using golden threads and is blended with Kashmiri embroidery. The Dupatta <\/em>is put over the head wear\u00a0and enhances the look of the bride.<\/p>\n

The bride adorns heavy gold jewelry around the neck, gold bangles on the hands and Paayal<\/em> and toe ring in the feet.\u00a0 A special and very unique ornament known as Dejharoo<\/em> is worn by a Kashmiri bride.\u00a0Dejharoo<\/em> is a pair of gold pendants hanging on a gold chain through the holes in the ear lobes. This holds the similar significance in Kashmiri pundits as a\u00a0mangalsutra<\/em> does among Hindus. A waist band which is two meter long and a half a meter wide is also forms an integral part of the bridal wear.<\/p>\n

Kashmiri Muslim Bride<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kashmiri Muslim brides wear beautifully embroidered\u00a0traditional outfit known as P<\/em>heran<\/em>, which is a long loose fitting robe and is well suited for the cold weather conditions. It is usually Red in colour. They wear a similar head gear to the Kashmiri Pundit brides but it is known differently. \u00a0They call it\u00a0Kasaba<\/em>. It varies from the Tarang <\/em>as it is simply a cloth of any colour of your choice which is held tight by silver pins and trinklets. It is decorated with gold embroidery and embellishments of silver pendants hanging on the forehead.<\/p>\n

These brides usually wear heavy bunches of silver jewelry which shines and can be noticed from a distance. The jewelry also, includes heavy\u00a0Jhoomar<\/em> style earrings which are supported by thick silver chain, necklace, bracelets and\u00a0Paayal<\/em> around the ankle.<\/p>\n

This was just a peek into the Kashmiri culture. As you see there is so much diversity within the two kinds of Kashmiri bridal outfits but at the same time they are similar in some ways.
