Historical Background and Cultural Significance

Archaeological excavations at Mohenjo-Daro show early versions of this garment, revealing its old history in Indian culture Historically, Lehenga had been made famous by the Rajputs, a warrior community renowned for their flamboyant and regal clothing. But it was under the Mughals that the Lehenga reached its peak, developed into elaborate clothing covered in elaborate embroidery and embellishments, representing the splendor of Mughal style.
