What Makes Punjabi Suits So Popular?

The myriad of Indian dresses is a reflection of the culture of thousands of years. The cultural diversity of India makes it a rather interesting country. In India, heterogeneity is appreciated and acknowledged. One of the visible elements of this diversity is clothing. Typically, the styles of clothing worn by people from different parts of the country is amazingly different from one another. The spread of these various styles among the people of India has been different. While some have been liked by a large proportion of the population, some others have remained confined to their own regions only. Punjabi Suits is one such type of Indian clothing which has originated from the state of Punjab but has been hugely popular among people of vast areas of Hindi heartland and southern India.
