Rajwadi Gharchola Sarees Gharcholas are wedding staples in the Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan. The bride generally wears a Gharchola as an Odhani/ Chunar, draped over her head and across her shoulders. One end of Gharchola is pleated and tucked at the bride’s waist, on the left side. Then the other end is brought to her right shoulder, draping the saree from the back. Many contemporary brides do not drape the pallu over their head. The Pallu’s loose end that falls over the bride’s right shoulder is tied to the groom’s sacred stole, during wedding rituals.
