Dress
Daura-Suruwal is the traditional Nepali dress. The dress has several religious beliefs identifying its designed, and has therefore remained the same for year. For example, the Daura has 8 strings that tie it up around the body—8 is the luck number in Nepali mythology. Also, the closed neck of the Daura signifies the snake around the Hindu Lord Shiva’s neck.
