What Is a Farshi Salwar Suit?

The farshi salwar takes its name from the Urdu word farsh, meaning floor. Traditionally worn by royal women in Lucknow and Hyderabad, it is a very wide, voluminous salwar that flows down to the floor. Today's farshi salwar suit pairs this dramatic bottom with a shorter kurti, creating a graceful, balanced look that has become one of the most popular ethnic trends in India and Pakistan.

Our Farshi Salwar Sets

Every MauMau farshi set is a two-piece outfit with a hip-length kurti and a matching or contrast farshi salwar. Choose from indigo and wine block prints with striped farshi salwars, heritage-print kurtis with solid farshi bottoms, or lustrous gajji satin sets like Midnight Mocha for parties and festive evenings.

How to Style a Farshi Salwar Suit

Keep the kurti short (hip to mid-thigh) so the farshi salwar's volume shows. Pair with juttis or block heels, add jhumkas or chandbalis, and layer a sheer dupatta for weddings and Eid. For daily wear, skip the dupatta and add a sling bag and flats.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a farshi salwar?

A farshi salwar is an extra-wide, floor-length salwar with a lot of flare and volume. The name comes from 'farsh', meaning floor, because it traditionally sweeps the ground.

What is the difference between farshi salwar, sharara and gharara?

A farshi salwar is a single, very wide flowing salwar. A sharara is flared from the waist like wide palazzos, and a gharara is fitted to the knee and then flares out with a gather or joint at the knee.

Which kurti length looks best with a farshi salwar?

Short kurtis, from hip-length to mid-thigh, look best because they balance the volume of the farshi salwar.
