Men's Ethnic Wear for Weddings and Pujas: Dhoti, Joda and Kurta Guide

Weddings, thread ceremonies, pujas and festivals are the perfect occasions for men to embrace traditional handloom. Here's a simple guide.

The Joda (Dhoti Set)

A joda is a traditional set of a dhoti and a matching upper cloth (gamuchha or chadar). In Odisha it is commonly worn for pujas, religious rituals and wedding ceremonies. Silk or cotton jodas with handwoven borders look dignified and timeless. Explore Fabric & Joda.

Kurta and Pyjama

A handloom kurta with a plain pyjama or churidar is the easiest choice for sangeet, mehendi and family functions. Cotton keeps you cool; silk adds festive shine.

Long Shirts and Angarkha

Angarkha-style and long Sambalpuri shirts offer a contemporary twist on traditional wear – great for receptions and festive parties. See Long Shirts & Angarkha.

Dressing by Occasion

• Puja or religious ceremony: Cotton or silk joda, or a white kurta with dhoti.
• Wedding ceremony: Silk joda or silk kurta in cream, gold or maroon.
• Reception: Long shirt or angarkha with a Nehru jacket.
• Haldi or mehendi: Yellow, green or pastel cotton kurtas.

Finishing Touches

• Kolhapuri chappals or mojaris
• A handloom stole draped over one shoulder
• A classic watch – keep jewellery minimal

Coordinate with Your Partner

Match the border colour of your joda or kurta with your partner's saree for a beautiful coordinated look in wedding photos.
