Mojaris are a kind of footwear that originated during the Mughal times and were popular among the royalties. Designs of birds or flowers were included that depicted a story or theme.These shoes are widely popular, especially in North India. These shoes are made by hand using leather and stitched with cotton threads in different styles and sizes. Rajasthan, Punjab and Maharashtra are few of the main places where mojaris are manufactured. Once a commonly used footwear, mojaris have now evolved into a fashion statement. Other popular forms of Mojris include khussas and juttis. Initially, mojaris were very simple in design and structure. Now, they are made with many ornate designs, sequins and threads.
