INDIAN BEAUTY FINAL ESSAY- India has many different types of beauty. One big part of it is their clothing, which mostly ties into their religion. Religion is a big component of their life styles so they have to carefully pick out what they wear so they don't let down their god. India's clothing has many different styles and patterns, men and woman have different styles of clothing, and each piece of clothing is different.

In India there are many different clothing pieces. One of them is a salwar kameez. A salwar is tightly wrapped around the waist and has strings and tapers around the ankles. A kameez is worn over the salwar and looks like a long shirt. It contains lots of patterns and has slits around the wrist area (Traditional Indian Clothing). A sari or saree is a piece of unstiched cloth usually around four to nine meters long and is worn in many different styles. The most common style is for it to be wrapped around the waist with the loose end over the shoulder. But there are many other ways to wear a sari like the Nivi, where the pleats go between the legs and get tucked into the waist in the back. Another style is the Kodagu which is when the pleats are in the back instead of the front and the loose end of it is draped to the front over the right shoulder and pinnned to the rest of the sari. There are also many many more styles to wear a sari. It is even worn over petticoats sometimes. Saris were made in India and now are the symbol of India. (Clothing In India). A dhoti is a long piece of cotton worn around the waist and are worn by men. It is a rectangular piece of unstitched cloth, is around 7 yards long, is usually wrapped around the waist, and the legs and knotted at the waist ( Clothing 93). Interesting information! Sari or saree Salwar kameez Men and woman have different styles of clothing that they wear. One piece of clothing woman wear is a sari. A sari is a sheet of cloth that is usually draped over a blouse with exotic patterns. Wasn't the Sari already mentioned? Little girls often wore pavadas, a long skirt worn under a very colorful blouse. Saris usually have an extra lenght of cloth and are cut off to make a matching choli. A choli is worn and is a shirt that is either backless or has a halterneck, and is only worn on special occasions for it has alot of patterns and embrodery on it. It is a midriff-baring blouse worn in India. It is cut to fit tightly to the body and has short sleeves with a low neck. (Clothing in India). Be sure to proofread and check spelling.

Men's style for their clothes is similar to women but very different. WHAT? To start with, they wear dhotis alot (Clothing 93). They wore pyjamis and kurtas which were styles of shirts. Add some description here. In villages, instead of wearing pyjamis they wore lungis. Lungis were rectangular cloths (Traditional Indian Clothing). They also wore jamas which means garment, and on mens clothing they didn't have any buttons, snaps, or zippers (Kalman 16-17). <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">Why? Is there a signifigance to this? Men wore sheets of cloth which they called veshtis (Clothing in India). Another item men wore, was a turban. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">A turban was a piece of cloth that they used as a sort of head piece, they took the cloth and wrapped it around their head (Carr). Turban Dhoti

Every piece of Indian clothing is different. They all have an exotic and unique pattern on them. Woman usually were the one<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">s that would make the clothing. To make the clothes and spice them up, they usually added porcupine quills, bones, beads, and shells as decorations. To make the clothes, woman used animal skins or wool from sheeps. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">"Sheep" is the plural form <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">They also used silk, and silk was first made in India. Besides all thier everyday clothing, people in India carried around bags, belts, tools, and weapons. They called them regalia. Regalia was also a common gift or present they gave out on specail occasions (Nikki). <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Most of Indian's clothing has lots of patterns and colors on it. Some of the colors on their clothing are green, red, gold, purple, and alot more. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">More great information - check spelling! In India there are so many possibilities for clothing to wear each day. Woman can choose from a simple sari to an elegant choli, and men can wear a simple jama or a dhoti. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The fabrics they use also show meaning since silk was founded in India and sometime they have to find thier own materials to make clothing. Woman who live in India have so many styles, colors, and patterns to choose from. Men have alot of clothing pieces to choose from as well. Every piece of India's clothing is different in the judgment of patterns. There are so many colors, designs, things to put in clothing that they are so beautiful in everyway. Every culture and place has different beauty thoughts, and India's is remarkable. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">Well done!
