A dusala is the traditional men's shawl of North India, draped over the shoulder at weddings, festive gatherings, and family ceremonies. It adds warmth, ceremony, and a sense of heritage that few accessories can. At Taroob, our dusala and shawls for men are handwoven and hand-embroidered in and around Amritsar, carrying the same craft that defines everything we make.
What makes Taroob shawls for men special?
The difference is in how each piece is made.
- Handwoven base fabrics with real weight and warmth
- Hand embroidery worked into the fabric, not pressed on top
- Pure pashmina and fine wool options for genuine warmth
- Finished in Taroob's signature gift box, ready to wear or gift
The dusala: a traditional drape
The dusala sits at the heart of North Indian menswear, especially in Punjab. Worn over a kurta pajama or a jacket, it completes a traditional look with quiet authority.
- Draped over one shoulder for weddings and festive evenings
- Layered over a kurta pajama for a full ceremonial look
- Worn over a Nehru jacket or bandhgala for winter formality
