The Makhela Chador is a traditional Assamese attire known for its elegance and rich cultural significance. It consists of two main pieces: the Makhela, a draped skirt, and the Chador, a piece of cloth draped over the shoulder. Typically made from silk or cotton, the ensemble is often adorned with intricate assamese motifs and delicate gossamer patterns. It is worn with a fitted blouse called a 'Riha' and is commonly paired with accessories like jewelry and a traditional mekhela chadar sash. This timeless dress is an essential symbol of Assamese identity, worn during festivals, weddings, and cultural events.
