The lighter version is worn by Rajput women every day; it is a simple “Rajputi Poshak” with very light work (usually Gotta Patti) over it. The heavier range is worn on festivals like “Teej” and “Gangor”.
Few types are Zardosi Poshak, Gotta Patti Poshak, Zari Poshak, and Kundan Poshak.
Zardosi is used in “Rajputi Poshak” to give it a rich feel. It is the type of embroidery which involves incorporation of tiny thin metal in the piece of clothing. This gives the clothing a complete newness.
This type of embroidery involves use of gold and Gotta Patti Poshak, this art have its origin in Rajasthan it has also been copyrighted by the state of Rajasthan.
Back in the days of Kings and Queens, the Gotta Patti dresses were decorated by real gold and silver metals, but now as the time has passed and the metals have become really costly.
The use of precious metal has decreased and instead of small pieces of Zari ribbon are applied on the dresses with “Kinari work” to create sophisticated designs.
Zari Poshak, Zari has its origin to Banaras; it is generally a brocade of tinsel thread which is meant for weaving and embroidery. Zari work on a “Rajputi Poshak” magnifies its beauty to a newer level.

Making of “Rajputi Poshak” starts with the selection of right cloth, selection of right fabric is the key for making a magnificent dress. Customarily, the dress is fabricated from pure georgette, chiffon, pure satan or crape. But the choice of fabric is highly dependent on the occasion, style and budget requirements of the buyer. Next important step is coloring, this step involves the transformation of a simple grey/white cloth into a Rajput legacy. Various colors like red, blue, green and orange, etc. are embellished on the fabric. The highly contrasting colors used on the “Rajputi Poshak” defy the color of the desert and brings balance to life.
Once the fabric and color part of the process is complete, the “Rajputi Poshak” now requires amazing artistry. No “Rajputi Poshak” is complete without the intricate patterns and elegant designs made my artistic hands that spell magic; all the polishing and embroidery work transforms the cloth into a unique “Rajputi Poshak”.
However now you know how a simple piece of cloth transforms to a magnificent piece of artistry. All the hard work that is done behind the scenes keeps the history of Rajputana alive to be cherished by generations to come.
