The upper layer is typically adorned with decorative elements, such as piping and sequin work, while the lower layer is a solid color that creates a subtle contrast. The piping is usually a thin strip of fabric that is sewn onto the yoke to create a decorative border, and the sequin work adds a touch of sparkle and glamour to the garment.

The kurta is paired with pants that are typically made of a matching or coordinating fabric, and may feature additional embroidery or embellishments. To complete the outfit, a kalamkari dupatta is draped over the shoulders. Kalamkari is a traditional Indian textile art that involves hand-painting or block-printing intricate designs onto cotton or silk fabric. The dupatta is typically adorned with kalamkari patterns that complement the colors and embellishments of the kurta and pants.
