I believe that every person has a favorite outfit to wear. In my case, when I visited Rajasthan for the first time, I saw a set of kurta and dhoti. I was so fascinated by the dhoti and kurta that I quickly bought it from a store while I was exploring the streets of Rajasthan. After purchasing it, I went back to my hotel room and examined it closely. I noticed that there was intricate embroidery, with stars and sprinkles, and the color was a vibrant blue. I usually wear it on traditional occasions, like festivals such as Diwali. Additionally, when there are annual functions at my college, I wear this attire and feel a sense of joy and excitement. It also gives me a feeling of national pride, as the dhoti kurta is the national attire of my country. This outfit makes me feel proud because nowadays, we see many people opting for fashionable, Western clothes. Western culture is becoming increasingly prevalent in our country, and people have stopped wearing traditional garments like the dhoti kurta. It's a shame, as these cultural clothes hold a special place in our heritage.
