this is worn during garba ( a dance form) which happens during Navaratri, it& #39;s a festival !!
this is a dance from Odisha called odissi!! it has similarties with Bharatanatyam in clothing but no if u look closely you will notice the difference !!
these are from West Bengal too and these are from poush mela where they have a dance called Santhali folk dance
so now we move to the north eastern community who gets called names every fuckin min I want to say that THEY TOO ARE SOUTH ASIANS AND DO NOT CALL THEM NAMES

and they have dance called manpuri !! which is also called jagoi and mainly they perform raslila (radha and krishna two hindu gods dance)
here is a thread from a north eastern (I can& #39;t explain more or show more cause I& #39;m not from there hence it& #39;s better from the people of that place
