What clothes they used to wear during eid? How close are your clothes to what they used to wear?

My Dadi used to wear a simple gharara and kurta. Never knew my Dada, but nana used to wear kurta pajama (not kurta shalwar)

Re: eid clothes of your grand parents

my Dad wore Jinnah Style Sherwani [mostly black and grey in winter AND cream color and white in summer] with AligaRhii white paijaama and black pump [shoes].

my mum used to wear shalwar/qameez and sometimes Gharaarah.

i still wear Black AligaRhii sherwani and white AligaRhii paijaama [with black Rampuri cap] on Fridays, Eidai'n and special occasions...this was my uniform at Aligarh Muslim University to be worn on occasions...attendees at annual convocations are NOT allowed in without this uniform.

Re: eid clothes of your grand parents

Dhoti is very hawadaar: highly recommended to farmers and laborers but not recommended for prayers. :nessy:

Re: eid clothes of your grand parents

ye dhoti ko badnaam karne ki sazish hai. Since centuries, people prayed in dhoti and no one pointed what we have started pointing now

Re: eid clothes of your grand parents

I have heard of dhotis coming off, and people head getting stuck in them during sajdas. ;p

I don’t know how dhotis are tied, but if they are tied anything like lungis that south Indian folks wear, then it should never come off. The reason I say so is that lower part of ehraam is tied like lungis, and I had one on for five days straight, and I prayed, walked, ran and slept in that and it never came off.

Dhoti na bandhni ati hgoo tau eik anjana saa andaikha khatraa siir paay mandlata rahta hai.
