One of the main aspects of the Navratri festival of India are the folk dances, for which people dress up in the traditional garments to attend dandiya and garba events. For boys and men the attire consists of what is called Kediya, worn atop a pair of tightly fitting trousers and a colourful waistband. Ethnic caps and footwear can also be worn to complete the picture.
The Kediya or Kediyu
This piece of garment is essentially a coat which fits up to just above the waist level. It generally has a round neck and long sleeves, but some do come sleeveless. There are pleated frills on the back and rear side of the coat. The most beautiful part is the colourful, delicate embroidery which enhances the entire coat. It appears on the chest side and, in some garments, on the entire back side as well. The coat does not have traditional buttons, but is closed with slightly thick threads tied up in little bows.
The rest of the garment comprises of trousers that fit snugly on the legs, with a slight flare around the hips and with pleats folding over the ankles. The waistband, known as Kamarbandha, is like a triangular scarf. Some are printed, others are embroidered, with most have some pretty beads or tassels hanging from the edges.

- It is advisable to inspect the garments as soon as you receive it. You can return it on the spot if you do not like the product.
- The seller will not guarantee that the colour won't bleed on washing/fade. It would therefore be a good idea to buy a liquid colour fastener and use that when washing it for the first time after wearing. Most sellers advise to only dry clean the garments.
- You cannot return garments that are altered later
