Men's Kurtas for Puja & Traditional Ceremonies

by Vikram Sharma Textile designer

The kurta is the most popular type of Indian clothing for men among all the options. Both men and women can wear the Indian kurta worn over cotton vest, though each has its own style and cut.


With the global popularity of Indian textiles, designs, patterns, and silhouettes, Indian clothing has evolved and become more modern. Men's kurta designs reflect this evolution, and there are now many different colors and cuts available that incorporate both contemporary and traditional patterns.

Kurtas for men are long shirts that typically reach just above, just below, or at knee length. Indian kurtas are made up of two pieces of cloth stitched together with side slits. Indian kurtas for men are not the same as those for women.

They have a straight and masculine silhouette with a slit on both sides beginning at the hips for increased mobility and comfort. The sleeves are always straight and never flared or tapered, with long and slightly loose-fitting sleeves in the classic kurta design.

Comfortable ethnic wear

In general, men's kurtas have a loose fit that makes them extremely comfortable. However, the use of straight lines and sharp stitching keeps them from looking sloppy. The overall rectangular shape is also attractive and flattering. A placket or slit opening was the traditional choice for the neckline.

Nehru and Mandarin collars, on the other hand, have become popular in modern kurtas. The daily wear men's kurta collection also includes more casual round neck or v neck varieties.

Men will be astounded by the variety and types of kurtas available when shopping. Cotton is a classic summer fabric that is frequently used to make breezy casual wear kurtas. Linen is another popular material that is both comfortable and more formal and crisp than cotton.

Khadi is a popular Indian textile that has gained popularity in the last decade. Khadi kurtas are distinctively Indian and represent a distinct ethnic ethos. They are appropriate for both winter and summer. Silk, crepe, georgette, and even velvet are used to create more formal kurtas for special occasions such as parties, festivals, or weddings. Designer kurtas for men frequently use materials such as satin and silk to achieve a regal, majestic appearance.

Variations include not only fabric but also designs and patterns. Designs are incorporated around the collar, sleeve ends, and kurta borders in a kurta for men.

This keeps the effect subtle while still allowing for a splash of ethnic flair. There are numerous appealing patterns available, ranging from simple thread designs to eye-catching appliqué, stone, beads, zari, lace, sequins, and patchwork designs.

The Indian kurta for men looks best when paired with Indian trousers such as cotton, linen, or silk pajamas, but modern Indo-Western styles can also be paired with jeans. For a more dramatic effect, they may have pleats or a slightly nipped waist. This type of innovation is more common in designer kurta for men.

Trends to look for

Kurta designs for men have progressed beyond the traditional color and pattern combinations that were popular in the past. This means that there are now a lot more interesting options in stores for different occasions. For many years, cream, beige, and white were the traditional men's kurta colors, but bolder hues such as red, maroon, green, blue, and yellow are now popular.

Short kurtas for men paired with south Indian white lungi  or dhoti are one of the most popular items in menswear. These are intended to be worn to casual events and, when paired with a jodhpuri pant and mojaris, can create a relaxed yet stylish and ethnic look. Men's short kurtas are also available with shorter sleeve lengths and modern necklines.

Another trend is to wear kurtas with unconventional or western pants, such as jodhpuri pants and trousers, rather than the traditional salwar. The kurta and dhoti combination is a classic look that is making a comeback. This is worn with an angavasthram, a traditional South Indian shawl worn at weddings and ceremonies.

Wearing a kurta with a stole, scarf, shawl, or dupatta is no longer restricted to formal occasions. While formal kurtas look great with matching men's dupattas, even casual kurtas look great with crushed crepe or wool shawls, cotton stoles, and any other type of neck gear.

Kurtas can be worn with traditional men's accessories. Turbans and kanthas are popular wedding accessories, while mojaris and embroidered jutis are essential for ceremonies and festivals where one is expected to dress in Indian attire from head to toe.
