A choli or ravike is a blouse or a bodice-like upper garment, that is usually cut short or cropped leaving the midriff bare worn by women in the Indian Subcontinent. It is also known as ravike in South India. It is worn along with a sari in the Indian subcontinent. In northern Gujarat is also known as polku. The choli is also part of the ghagra choli costume in the Indian subcontinent. Some women in Rajasthan wore the kurti on top of their choli after marriage.
