The man wears an Achkan or Shervani that seems to have European-style collars. Both the Achkan and the head dress are quintessentially Muslim-referenced, even though we know in the coming decade such sartorial styles became popular among urban elites across other parts of the subcontinent as well. The lady wears a bodice paired wuth a saree. The shawl she wears over this is starkly simple and embellished or decorated.
