Khombi - A Memon tradition.

My first blog post had to be something very very special, so it is about my tradition. Passed on from our ancestors to us, a tradition every girl dreams to own. "Khombi" is a banbhej garment, either in the form of a dupatta, the entire outfit like a saree or a suit, jacket and so on owned by almost every memon girl. 

I always saw beautiful memon brides wrapped in so called Khombi standing on stage being the center of attraction. It is adorned by almost all the brides in some or the other way. Few prefer it over them as a dupatta covering their head and few as a wedding ensemble itself. In a world where traditions are slowly vanishing , khombi is still maintained as a classic form of adornment of a bride.

khombi can be customized in any color or design, although black and red are the most preferred ones. Of many pages i came across on the internet Khombi house and designers boutique on fb is the best and apt to show the actual khombi bandhej. Btw i own a red one :-))
