Cultural Connections

Every society lives in a particular mindset when it comes to the attires it chooses. The contemporary is actually a derivative from our history and can be traced back to the festivals India celebrates or the folk dances of different states or going further, to the mythological influences of the times. The influences can be as varied as the days of the week or the practice within a family. It explains why certain people wear yellow on a Sunday, wear a mangalsutra after marriage or wear mehendi before Karva Chauth and Eid.
