The Peerless Fashion Fiesta
Rajasthan People
The red clouds in the horizon and the chill breeze in the evenings might take their sleep away, and replenish them with dreams of drizzle, a fantasy that has long been forgotten. This is one of the dominant factor that designs the lifestyle of Rajasthan people. The women wear long, swirling skirts that stands out in the stark, desolete landscape of their terrain. Adorned in chunky silver jewellery, they cover their face with an 'odhni' (veil - not so popular among urbanites) which not only saves their beauty from the covetous eyes of men, but also protects them from harsh sun and sand. The men are tall , dusky and precipitate pride in their long, twirled moustaches - sometimes chaperoned with a beard - with colourful turbans in tie-and-dye-fabric, that adds to their glamour. The varied impetus of the colourful fairs and festivals also affords villagers from remote regions to meet and mingle, marriage alliances to be made, livestocks deals to be stuck and rural issues to be discussed. The people and lifestyle of RAjasthan is influenced by a celebration for every religious occasion, every change of season and every harvest, all invariably a reflection of the genius of their arts and crafts and their ascetic refinement.
