This is a specific chunni used during a pre wedding ceremony called a “chunni chadai” during this ceremony, the groom’s family drapes the chunni over the bride's head, resembling a veil.

Typically, the chunni is a shade of red, chosen to complement the bride's skin tone, and features a gold tassel border known as “gota.”
