Langa and a Voni, the Langa being a skirt-like piece of garment worn at the
waist and held in place by a string and the Voni is a cloth of length 2m-2.5m.

the Voni is tucked in front of the skirt and wrapped around the waist then
draped over the opposite shoulder by pleating it manually.

Indian women’s attire had lost its popularity, it is gaining its vogue day by
