Paranja (or Paranji) is a traditional Central Asian robe of women and girls, that covered the head and body. It is also known as burqa in other languages. It is similar in basic style and function to other regional styles such as the Afghan chadari.
The part that covered the face, known as the chachvan (or chachvon), was heavy in weight and made from horsehair. It was especially prevalent among urban Uzbeks and Tajiks.
Paranji and chachvon were by 1917 common among urban Uzbek women of the southern river basins. less frequently in the rural areas, but scarcely at all on the nomadic steppe. [1]
Russia's October Revolution encouraged a liberation of women, and sought to discourage or ban the veil, as well as the paranja.[2]
