Mekhela chador (Assamese: মেখেলা চাদৰ) is the traditional Assamese dress worn by women.

"খট খট খট খটচালে শব্দই পৃান মুৰ নিতে নচুয়াই "

Mekhela(মেখেলা): There are two main pieces of cloth that are draped around the body. The bottom portion, draped from the waist downwards is called the mekhela (মেখেলা)

Chador(চাদৰ): The top portion of the two-piece dress, called the chador(চাদৰ), is a long length of cloth that has one end tucked into the upper portion of the Mekhela and the rest draped over and around the rest of the body. Unlike Saree  the chador is tucked in triangular folds.

Riha:  A fitted blouse is often worn to cover the breasts, though in the past another garment called a riha used to be worn. A riha is still worn as part of the Assamese bridal trousseau, but over a fitted blouse. The red coloured pattern at the end of the riha is graceful and symbolic. Designs are also found in the pari (border) of mekhela and riha.
