History and Significance of Daura Suruwal

The Daura Suruwal is Nepal’s national dress for men and has a rich historical background:

• Originated during the reign of King Prithvi Narayan Shah.

• Initially worn by Gurkha soldiers, known for their loyalty and bravery.

• Later adopted by the general public as formal and ceremonial attire.

The five pleats of the Daura symbolize the Pancha Tatwa (earth, water, fire, air, sky), while the eight strings represent the Astamatrika (eight mother goddesses) for protection and good fortune. Today, wearing a Daura Suruwal reflects national pride, cultural identity, and timeless elegance.
