ਸ਼ਰਾਰਾ
The Sharara.
One long line, from hip to hem.
A sharara (ਸ਼ਰਾਰਾ) is a Punjabi and North Indian silhouette of two flared trousers that open in one continuous line from the hip or high thigh down to the floor. Unlike the gharara, there is no knee-band, no aara — the fabric moves in a single sweep.
The sharara is the sharara of Nawabi Lucknow and Punjabi cocktail evenings. Lighter than a gharara, softer than a lehenga, easier to walk in than either. She sits well, she moves well, and she photographs beautifully because the line is uninterrupted.
At TEEYAN we cut the sharara long — grazing the floor when standing, forming a soft pool when seated. The kurti is short, embroidered, and paired with a dupatta pinned to fall along one shoulder.
One flared line from hip down. No knee-band. Lighter, walk-friendly, cocktail-ready.
Two-part flare with a heavy embroidered knee-band (aara). Fitted above the knee, dramatic bell below. Formal bridal.
Straight or slightly A-line trousers. No bell, no knee-band. Modern, minimal, day-into-evening.
The sharara's home hour. Long, flowing, photographs beautifully under warm evening light.
For brides who want to dance without the weight of a gharara. Same drama, lighter body.
In softer palettes — saffron, dusty pink, pistachio. Half the karigari, all the presence.
The sharara ages well across bodies and years. A bride's mother can wear one and be photographed like a bride herself.
Our contemporary sharara silhouette — clean lines, one long flare.
See the Kaudi →A sharara is a Punjabi and North Indian two-piece silhouette where the trousers flare in one continuous line from the hip or high thigh to the floor. It is paired with a short embroidered kurti and a dupatta.
A sharara has no knee-band — it flares in one line. A gharara has a heavy embroidered aara (knee-band) separating the fitted thigh from the flared bell. A sharara is lighter, easier to walk in, and more suited to cocktail and reception hours.
Yes — the sharara is a traditional Punjabi cocktail and reception silhouette. Some brides also choose a sharara for the Anand Karaj when they want something lighter than a lehenga or gharara.
A TEEYAN sharara uses four to six metres of silk per leg — lighter than a gharara but full enough to hold the bell line. The kurti uses two to three additional metres depending on length and cut.
Every TEEYAN sharara is made to measure in the fabric, colour, and embroidery you choose. Price is quoted on request over WhatsApp. Duties-paid delivery worldwide is included.
Eight to twelve weeks depending on embroidery density. Lighter shararas are faster than ghararas because there is no dense aara to hand-stitch.
We do not fill forms. Every TEEYAN sharara is made for one woman — WhatsApp us to speak about fabric, colour, karigari, and your date.
