The women in this image are dressed in their traditional attire, which reflects the city's diverse history. The long, flowing dresses, intricately embroidered with floral patterns and adorned with colorful scarves, are a testament to the region's rich textile heritage. The headscarves, worn in various styles, add an elegant touch to the overall look.
