Many traders have also brought dresses in various designs specially from Gujarat this year. The first batch has arrived in the market. This year Dhumdhadaka Ghagra has been in demand among women. Its features are that the designer has combined three ghagras to make a Dhumdhadaka ghagara. This ghagra is seen in different colors from four sides. 'Chunnu Munnu' Ghagra is becoming an attraction among kids. A ghagra with a nine meter circumference has been introduced in the market for girls. A light weight, non-overworked ghagra is being preferred. Apart from this, the gamthi print on the all over ghagra is also unique. Double Kolhapuri Pheta has come in the market for youths.
