• Source: Angarkha

Angarkha is an outer robe with long sleeves which was worn by men in South Asia. By the 19th-century it had become the generally accepted attire of an educated man in public. It had evolved from the Persian cape balaba or chapkan as a result of being given a more Indian form in the late medieval or early modern era.




Etymology


Angarkha comes from the Sanskrit aṅgarakṣaka, meaning 'body-protector'.
