A brief description of different types of outfits:

Women:

Lehenga = Top + Skirt + Scarf

Kurta Set = Top + Pants + Scarf

Sharara = Top + Flare Pants + Scarf

Anarkali = Long Top + Pants + Scarf

Saree = Top + Fabric to pleat/wrap around your body

Pre-Stitched Saree = Top + Pre-pleated & wrapped fabric that slips on like a skirt

Men:

Kurta Set = Top + Pants

Sherwani / Jodhpuri = Suit Jacket + Suit Pants

As the Nelengu is more casual than the Hindu Ceremony, men can opt for a kurta set instead of a sherwani/jodhpuri suit.

The Hindu Ceremony will be formal - please avoid wearing ivory or red.
