Raghavendra Rathore is a renowned Indian menswear designer and a descendant of the royal family of Jodhpur in Rajasthan, celebrated for his pioneering work in the design of the bandhgala jacket. He emphasizes the garment's deep historical roots, tracing its evolution back to the Mughal courts of the 16th century, and argues against its classification as a colonial relic, positioning it instead as a symbol of India's rich tailoring heritage. Rathore's fashion label focuses on traditional Indian cultures and crafts, showcasing the bandhgala as a refined expression of royal tailoring that has adapted over centuries.
