dhurrie
Transliterate it.


Explanation:
Since this concept does not exist in English, there appears to be no word in this respect.

There are two options:

1. You may transliterate the word and after this word you may explain in bracket that it means the personal outfit of a bride.

2. You may transliterate the word and put a star mark on it and then explain it in a footnote.
