What is a "sherwani"?

A sherwani is a traditional Indian attire for men that is typically worn for formal occasions such as weddings and other celebrations. The Sherwani is a long coat-like garment that is typically made of silk, linen, or cotton and is often embroidered with intricate designs. It has a high collar, and the length usually falls below the knee. The Sherwani is typically worn over a pair of trousers known as churidar or pajama, and it is often paired with a scarf or shawl known as a dupatta. It is a popular choice for grooms on their wedding day and is often seen as a symbol of cultural heritage and elegance.
