What is a dushala and how is it different from a shawl?

A dushala ('twin shawl') is the oversized mens ceremonial format — about double a standard shawl's coverage at 140 × 280 cm, draped over both shoulders. It is the traditional groom's and patriarch's wedding drape.

Is the whole dushala pure pashmina?

Yes — the entire cloth is GI-certified 100% Changthangi pashmina handwoven in Srinagar; the zari is hand-applied to the palla ends and disclosed as metallic threadwork.

Can it be worn after the wedding?

Absolutely — folded lengthwise it wears as a generous formal shawl at winter functions. Most owners retire it to occasions, which is exactly how heirlooms accrue.

This is the groom's-side statement drape: worn over a sherwani it reads as lineage, not accessory.
