Aanchal/ Pallu Meaning

Aanchal or Pallu, more or less the same thing, is a common word in Hindi. Here is the meaning that was given in notes in an earlier post.

Aanchal is the Hindi word for a piece of cloth worn by females on the upper part of body. It can be a dupatta (something like a scarf) or the loose end of a saree or some similar kind of dress. Pallu is mostly used for the part of saree only, rather than a dupatta.
