Description

The Daura Suruwal is the traditional national dress for men in Nepal. It consists of two main components: 1. Daura: A double-breasted shirt that overlaps and ties at the sides with strings, typically fastened in five places. These five fastenings are symbolic, representing the five elements of nature. 2. Suruwal: Tapered trousers that are comfortable and functional, often resembling a combination of loose pants and leggings. The Daura Suruwal is traditionally worn with a black cap called a “Dhaka topi” and may be accompanied by a jacket called a “coat” or “waistcoat.” This outfit carries significant cultural value and is commonly worn during formal events, religious ceremonies, and cultural festivals in Nepal. The Daura itself has roots in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism, with its design often reflecting elements of spirituality and Nepali heritage. The attire as a whole reflects the identity and pride of the Nepali people.
