Leaders and freedom fighters costumes are among the most meaningful fancy dress choices for school events, connecting children to the great figures who shaped India's history and values. Our leaders and freedom fighters costume collection includes the powerful Mughal King costume for historical drama performances, the iconic Bal Gangadhar Tilak costume for national events, and a range of historical leader costumes for school annual functions, Republic Day and Independence Day programmes, and history-themed fancy dress competitions. These costumes carry educational weight — children who wear them often research their character and deliver speeches, making for memorable and impactful stage performances. Available retail and wholesale at Mod Fancy Dress, Delhi. Browse our leaders collection.
Our costumes are available in age-based sizes — 3-5 yrs, 6-8 yrs, 8-10 yrs, and 11-13 yrs for most dance and performance costumes. If your child is between sizes, always go one size up. This gives more room for movement on stage and allows for minor alterations. For accessories like pagdis and turbans, one size fits all.

What colours work best for stage performances?▼
Deep jewel tones photograph and perform best under stage lighting — red and gold, blue and gold, green and gold, purple and silver. Pastel colours tend to wash out under bright stage lights. If in doubt, go with red and gold — it is the most versatile and always looks rich on camera.
