rejah

Rejah refers to a traditional garment worn in parts of South Asia, particularly in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. It is a type of sari or lungi, typically made of cotton or silk, and is often brightly colored and intricately patterned. The rejah can be worn by both men and women, though it is more commonly associated with women.

The style of rejah can vary by region and occasion. For everyday wear, simpler cotton rejahs are common. For special events such as weddings or festivals, more elaborate silk rejahs with detailed embroidery or weaving are preferred. The way the rejah is draped also differs, with distinct styles for men and women.

Historically, the production of rejah has been an important part of the textile industry in these regions, with skilled artisans creating unique designs. The rejah's cultural significance is tied to local traditions and customs, often playing a role in religious ceremonies and social gatherings. While modern clothing styles have become more prevalent, the rejah continues to be a cherished part of the cultural heritage, with many people continuing to wear it for its aesthetic appeal and traditional value.
