A Royal Jodhpuri suit also known as Bandhgala suit, is a formal suit from Rajasthan, India. It originated in the Jodhpur Princely State, (Rajasthan) and was popularized during mid 19th – mid 20th century in India. It consists of a coat and trousers, sometimes accompanied by a vest. It brings together a shorter cut with hand-embroidery escorted by the waistcoat. It is suitable for occasions such as weddings and formal gatherings.
The material can be silk or any other suiting material. Normally, the material is lined at the collar and at the buttons with embroidery. This can be plain, jacquard or jamewari material. Normally, the trousers match that of the coat. There is also a trend to wear contrasting trousers to match the coat colour.
