Salient Features
The bottom portion, known as the mekhela, is a wide cylindrical cloth that is folded into pleats and tucked around the waist. Unlike the Nivi style of saree, the pleats are folded to the right. The mekhela is tied without the use of strings, often accompanied by an underskirt with a string.
The top portion, called the chador, is a long length of cloth that is tucked in triangular folds and draped over the body. A fitted blouse is typically worn, although a riha, a traditional garment, is still part of the Assamese bridal trousseau.
