Description
Antique Prayer And Meditation stole is the
most elegant of all shawls made in India. Often people
seem to value these shawls even more than pashmina
cashmere. This is because paisley is warmer and the
designs are classic, created in 19th century. Cashmere
pashmina on the other hand are softer. Prayer And Meditations
can usually be worn on one side only. Probably this is
what makes the Prayer And Meditations more authentic. When you
wear these shawls, heads turn. You truly look like a
connoisseur.
Two Indian weavers, sitting side by side at the loom,
could take up to three years to produce a top quality
shawl, the price of which might be equivalent to that of
a house. When women in the west fell in love with these
Indian imports, European weavers attempted to produce a
similar product at a lesser price, which resulted in the
invention of the jacquard loom. One of the towns where
the shawls were produced was Paisley, near Glasgow,
whose name became synonymous with both the shawls and
the teardrop or pinecone motif, which decorated them.
Paisley pattern is a droplet shaped vegetable motif,
also called buta, similar to half of the Yin yang
symbol, the Indian bodhi tree leaf, or the mango tree.

Indian Clothes as defined in Wikipedia
Salwar kameez & dupatta
The salwar kameez is another form of popular dress for
females. It consists of loose trousers (the salwar)
topped by a long loose shirt (the kameez). It originates
from the state of Punjab in India, but now has become
popular all across India, & other South Asian
countries. It is commonly worn with a narrow scarf
called a dupatta, which can be used to cover the head,
or just draped over the shoulders. The salwar kameez is
most common in the northwestern part of India.
Lehenga, choli, & odhani
The women of Rajasthan & Gujarat often wear colorful
swirling skirts called lehenga, paired with a short
bodice called a choli. If they must cover their heads,
they do so with bright veils called odhani.
Men's clothing
The most common male attire consists of the dhoti &
kurta, worn in most of the western & central regions.
A sherwani is typically worn for special occasions. Men
of northern India & the Punjab may also wear salwar
kameez, often in plain white cotton, & top the kameez
with a dark waistcoat. The lungi (a type of wrap-around)
is worn in many parts of India, but depending on the
social practices of the region it may be restricted to
indoor-wear.
