Dhoti
Well, Bengalis call it dhuti. This is the most important element of a Bengali groom’s outfit. This is either made of silk or khadi. The dhoti is worn in white, beige or cream colour. One can always choose to wear a cotton dhoti depending on whichever is comfortable. The customary colour of the dhoti is usually white, but now with the fashion trends gearing up so fast, Bengali grooms do experiment with a lot of colours, depending on the look they want to sport for their wedding.
Punjabi
The kurta the groom wears for his wedding is called punjabi in Bengali. This piece of cloth is usually made of silk or tasar. The embroidery is usually intricate and minimal. Bengalis don’t prefer heavy kurtas. One can wear a punjabi in any colour he wishes to. Most Bengali grooms either prefer cream or maroon colour kurtas. Thesekurtas look royal. For a modern look, one can opt to wear a sherwani too. Sherwanis look as good as thepunjabi kurta, but if you want to look a traditional Bong, then your call should be punjabi.
Jor

Called as “jodh” in Bengali, this is a silk drape worn by the groom for the wedding rituals. In Bengali weddings, the groom has to wear this drape and dhoti for all the ceremonies of the wedding. The groom usually wears the dhoti and punjabi and then changes into the drape. As the wedding ceremony takes place, the bride and groom walk around the holy fire with the jor knotted around the bride’s dupatta.
