What
makes Jammu and Kashmir's costumes and attires different from the rest of
India is because of the blend of three distinct cultural backgrounds.
Filled with greener pastures the dressing in the region of Kashmir becomes
more colourful with exquisite embroidered work that accompanies their
clothes, especially the shawls and Pherans, which are embroidered with
intricate patterns of multihued threadwork. Up above in
Ladakh , the dressing
sense is having a trans-Himalayan influence in it. One can check the true
colours of this barren cold desert in the festive seasons when the
ceremonial attires just astound the spectators.
