Traditional clothing for the Baluch i man is a long, loose shirt(jamagorkurta)that reaches below the knees, worn with baggy trousers(salwar),and a turban(pag).The turban is a long cloth wound around a turban cap on the head. Leather shoes or palm-leaf sandals are worn. A shawl or wrap(chaddar)provides extra warmth in winter but can also be used as a towel, sash, or headcloth; it can be used to carry things.

WOMEN DRESSING STYLE

Women wear a long shift(pashk)reaching to the ankles, with a wrap used to cover the head, shoulders, and upper body. The wearing of trousers under the shift has been restricted to women of high status. Bright colors are usually avoided, but scarlet is popular among girls of marriageable age. Widows wear black. Women wear an assortment of jewelry, including rings (nose rings, earrings, rings on fingers and toes), necklaces, bracelets, and hair ornaments. Jewelry is made of gold or silver, depending on what a person can afford.

BALOCHI WEDDING

Like any other culture, the Baloch people also celebrate union of two people with utmost joy, warmth, and devotion; yet, basic rituals of traditional Balochi weddings differ to a great extent from other ethnicities of the region. Even though in big urban centres like Karachi, Quetta, Zahedan, Muscat, weddings to a little extent have transformed due to persistent local culture; however, in almost all villages, small cities and towns, conventional Balochi weddings are still practiced with all glory and novelty. This piece sheds light on the traditional and unique rituals practiced in the Balochi weddings.
