The lehenga (also known as a Ghagra, Chaniya Choli, or Langa Voni) is a traditional three-piece attire from the Indian subcontinent, consisting of a long skirt (the lehenga), a fitted blouse (the choli), and a scarf (the dupatta/odhni).

Circular/Flared Lehenga: Characterized by a very wide, circular skirt with maximum volume and numerous pleats. It’s the traditional and most voluminous style.

A-Line Lehenga: Flares out gradually from the waist, forming an “A” shape. It is universally flattering.

Mermaid/Fishtail Lehenga: Fitted closely from the waist down to the knees, then flares out dramatically at the bottom.

Paneled/Kalidar Lehenga: Consists of multiple horizontal panels of fabric stitched together to create volume and a tailored look.

Straight Cut Lehenga: Has a straight silhouette without a flare, sometimes with a side slit.

Jacket Lehenga: The lehenga and choli are paired with a long, often heavily embroidered, jacket.

Half-Saree Lehenga (Langa Voni): A style where the dupatta is draped to mimic the look of a traditional saree over the skirt and blouse.
