The kurta was worn together with a small bodice (choli, also illustrated), and a large veil (odhni, also illustrated). A long skirt, also to be worn with this set, is missing. This set of garments was probably housed in the India Museum, London, before being transferred to the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum), in 1879.
