Qaba
Appearance
Qaba (Persian: قباqabā) is a long coat with sleeves and buttons, similar to a cassock, open at the front. Qaba is similar to a wadded coat. The Mughal emperors wear ankle-length garment. The outfits during the reign of Babur and Humayun are more or less the same i.e. qaba, Jama, pirahan, jilucha, jiba and kasaba. Unlike jama which was a four pointed long-coat the Qaba and takauchia were of a broad girth at the bottom. There are mentions about Qaba in the Baburnama. At present, Qaba is one of the essential parts of the dress of the Islamic clerics or mosque leaders.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
