  • The Dress Code for Women at Shanti Bhavan, Like Many
    The dress code for women at Shanti Bhavan, like many places throughout rural South India is relatively conservative: absolutely no shoulders, no cleavage, looser clothing (ie. no leggings and no tight tops) and nothing above the knees. Female Teachers’ Typical Clothing Many professional women wear kurtas, or long dresses with high slits at the sides which are paired with leggings or pants. Kurtas are also often worn with scarves that are draped across the shoulders as a display of modesty. This article of clothing is often worn by teachers, as it is often considered to be casual yet appropriate in the workspace. One important thing to note is that men also wear kurtas in India: in fact, traditionally women would wear the female version called kurtis while men wore kurtas. However, the term kurta is often used for the clothing article that both men and women wear. Volunteers and teachers are often recommended to wear kurtas while at the school—although wearing a kurta is not compulsory. In lieu of wearing kurtas, typically business-casual styles of dress (as long as they adhere to the rules of no exposed shoulders, cleavage, or knees) is acceptable. You will often see volunteers wearing trousers with a blouse, or long skirts paired with both a blouse and scarf. This is an example of a kurta, notice the high slit at the sides (often seen in kurtas) Aunties and Female Maintenance Workers’ Typical Clothing The aunties, who are the caretakers of the children, often wear traditional clothes, whether they wear kurtas or saris (a cropped blouse that often stops underneath the bustline and is paired with a nine-yard long fabric which is wrapped around the lower part of the body and draped over one shoulder).

  • Traditional Clothes of the Country(Joint
    Message froM PRESIDENT Dear Rotaractors, Warm Rotaract Greetings from Rotaract Club of Thane North (RID 3142- India) We are glad sharing an editorial space with you and find great pleasure introducing the Traditional attire of our country. As you know India is a diverse country and has 29 states and 7 union territories. Every state has their own diverse language and traditional attire. We even have diversity in religion maximum people following Hinduism and the rest being Islam, Christianity and Sikhism; leave aside the other tribes which have their own traditional attire. Living in such a diversified country it is difficult to write about the entire traditional clothing, but here I will just try giving you a glimpse of the same. For men, traditional clothes are the Achkan/Sherwani, Bandhgala, Lungi, Kurta, Angarkha, Jama and Dhoti or Pajama. Additionally, recently pants and shirts have been accepted as traditional Indian dress by the Government of India. In India, women's clothing varies widely and is closely associated with the local culture, religion and climate. Traditional Indian clothing for women in the north and east are saris worn with choli tops; a long skirt called a lehenga or pavada worn with choli and a dupatta scarf to create an ensemble called a gagra choli; or salwar kameez suits, while many south Indian women traditionally wear sari and children wear pattu langa. Saris made out of silk are considered the most elegant. Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is one of India's fashion capitals. In many rural parts of India, traditional clothes is worn.
