COMMENT PLEASE
 
Stating which dress style, I believe looks best.
 
Koshur (which means 'Kashmiri' in Kashmiri) is acutally a lot of things...kashmiri pandits wear both kameez shalwars and sarees....the kameez can have very intricate embroidery lain. the vendors in kashmir inflate prices a lot, unless you converse in kashmiri with them ;) Pheran (shown in the picture) is a wool coat, and shawls of extremely fine wool are popular.My mother owns a pashmina and it is so thin yet very warm.
 
There is nothing called Bhojpuri Dressing. Women in Bihar wear Sarees or Salwar Kameez or Lehnga-Choli-Chunri everywhere like North India.
 
i actually don't remember when i saw maharashtrain woman in such saree..nauvari saree was the old traditional dress for women but only very old ladies wear it now...maharashtrian saree is pretty different than this...maharashtrian saree is the one priyanka chopra was wearing in movie kamine
