Shaluka

Shaluka (an under jacket ) was a ladies' garment, a sleeveless tunic with a hip-length worn over a short, tight bodice called a kanchli or angiya. It was a part of the court costume of orient culture. The shape was like a half-sleeve kurta or tunic (similar to a waistcoat), reaching up to mid-thigh that could be worn under other garments. rdf:langString
