In India, the wedding rituals and clothes make the wedding as much as
that of the bride and her groom. Both look their splendid best in
gorgeous outfits. Not just the couple, but the guests attending the
family and the relatives are often seen dressed to the teeth. The bride
is usually dressed up in auspicious colors, whereas the bridegroom is
dressed to exude a regal aura. The bridesmaids and best men
are often dressed on a par with the bride and the groom, but not as
elaborately as the bride and groom. All the folks attending the marriage
are decked out with gold jewelry including the bride and sometimes the groom. The ladies are additionally adorned with henna patterns all over their palms, hand, forearms, legs and feet. Sometimes henna patterns are replaced with alta designs which are short lived and easily removable.
In some cultures, the groom also sports henna, although it is
less elaborate or muted. Indian weddings generally tend to continue for
several days and new attire is worn each day. All these dresses and the
colour symbolize the meaning of marriage and the period that follows it.
An Indian wedding is one that gives more importance to details like
different rituals and the various attires one wears to attend them.
Indian Hindu weddings
continue for several days. India is a country that defines diversity
and this is visible even in the wedding and its different styles. The
ceremonies, the rituals, the formalities are all different between each
region and culture. Unlike the Christians, Hindus wedding ceremony does
not resemble the western marriages and are quite elaborate. In the
North, Starting from the Tilak ceremony, each function has significance in the marriage. Tilak, Sangeet, Haldi, Baraat and the Shaadi,
all necessitate the Bride and the bridegroom to wear new attire at each
occasion. All these above ceremonies are known by different names in
the other parts,e.g.Simant puja in the west, or Mangalasnanam in the south and so on.
It's all about leather jackets, cool sneakers and relaxed-fit denim, so
it's no surprise your kids might have better style than you.All societies define childhood within certain parameters. From infancy
to adolescence, there are societal expectations throughout the various
stages of children's development concerning their capabilities and
limitations, as well as how they should act and look. Clothing plays an
integral role of the "look" of childhood in every era. An overview
history of children's clothing provides insights into changes in
child-rearing theory and practice, gender roles, the position of
children in society, and similarities and differences between children's
and adults' clothing.Changes in children's clothing styles were part of the shifting cultural
landscape of the 1920s. Though fashions for children changed less
drastically than those for men and women, the trend was toward clothing
that was made especially for kids and their unique needs.
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staplefiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions, the cotton bolls will increase the dispersal of the seeds.
The plant is a shrub
native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including
the Americas, Africa, Egypt and India. The greatest diversity of wild
cotton species is found in Mexico, followed by Australia and Africa.Cotton was independently domesticated in the Old and New Worlds.
The fiber is most often spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathabletextile.
The use of cotton for fabric is known to date to prehistoric times;
fragments of cotton fabric dated to the fifth millennium BCE have been
found in the Indus Valley Civilization, as well as fabric remnants dated back to 6000 BCE in Peru.
Although cultivated since antiquity, it was the invention of the cotton gin that lowered the cost of production that led to its widespread use, and it is the most widely used natural fiber cloth in clothing today.
Current estimates for world production are about 25 million tonnes
or 110 million bales annually, accounting for 2.5% of the world's
arable land. India is the world's largest producer of cotton. The United
States has been the largest exporter for many years.In the United States, cotton is usually measured in bales, which
measure approximately 0.48 cubic meters (17 cubic feet) and weigh 226.8
kilograms (500 pounds).
Silk cloths
Silk is a natural proteinfiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons.[1] The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberrysilkwormBombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colors.
Silk is produced by several insects; but, generally, only the
silk of moth caterpillars has been used for textile manufacturing. There
has been some research into other types of silk, which differ at the
molecular level.[2] Silk is mainly produced by the larvae of insects undergoing complete metamorphosis, but some insects, such as webspinners and raspy crickets, produce silk throughout their lives.[3] Silk production also occurs in hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and ants), silverfish, mayflies, thrips, leafhoppers, beetles, lacewings, fleas, flies, and midges.[2] Other types of arthropods produce silk, most notably various arachnids, such as spiders.
