Kediyu
The kediyu is a garment worn by men in the rural coastal parts of western Gujarat, including Junagadh district.[1] The kediyu is a long sleeved upper garment, pleated at the chest, which reaches to the waist.[2][3] The prints on the kediyu include bandhani designs which are local to Gujarat and Rajasthan.[4] The kediyu is often worn with chorno, also called kafni, which refers to the pantaloons that are wide and tied loosely at the ankles, and is based on the styles worn in Iraq which were introduced to the coastal region during the 7th century[5] by traders.[6] The chorno/surwal can also be worn with a jama.

Islam was introduced into Gujarat in the 7th century A.D. The first Arab raid came in 635 when the Governor of Bahrain sent an expedition against Broach. Then through the centuries colonies of Arab and Persian merchants began sprouting in the port cities of Gujarat, such as Cambay, Broach and Surat.
