(1)Punjabi kurta = The Punjabi kurta[11] is made of two rectangular pieces with side slits, and a front opening[12] below the neck. In the past, it was traditional for men to wear a gold or silver chain (zanjiri) woven around the buttons.[13]

This form of kurta gradually began to replace the older angarkha worn in the Punjab regionwhich fell to the knees,[14] opened to either the left or the right,[15] and was sometimes known as the anga, the older form of the angarkha and is similar to a gown[16][17] or a loose coat and wadded with cotton.[18] By the 1960s the Punjabi kurta had almost replaced the angarkha but it was still popular in present-day Haryana.[19]

The Punjabi form of kurta is popular throughout the sub-continent. It is for this reason that, in Bengal and Bangladesh.[20] the kurta is known as 'Panjabi' as the kurta is associated with the Punjab[21] and considered an article of Punjabi dress.[22] The Punjabi kurta was introduced to Assam by King Garib Niwaj of Manipur during his reign sometime between 1709 A.D. and 1749 [23] A.D. where it is also known as Panjabi.[24] It is also worn in Uttar Pradesh[25] and since the 1960s has been replacing the traditional saluka (short shirt) worn in Madhya Pradesh.[26]
