hjkbvjh,

jkhkjIn India they have many traditions, whether it is Marriage, Food, Education, etc. They all are done in certain ways. Indians have many traditions when it comes to Family Life, Birth, Marriage, Dress, Food and Education. When it comes to Family Life in India I think it is the most important and meaningful. One of the traditions with family life is that you have to maintain strong bonds with all of your relatives. For most of the time 3 to 4 generations of your family are living under one roof. Most young women are expected to live with their Husbands relatives after marriage, but they still maintain strong bonds with their family as well. There are many birthing rituals in India also. Usually what is done is a smoothed sylindrical Muller stone is passed around the cradle by the senior lady present and deposited in the cradle ( This is to ensure that the child will grow up free of blemish and as enduring as stone). Sometimes a cap colored with certain pigments is wrapped around the stone to placate the goddess to bestow protection upon the newborn child. There really isn’t many traditions when it comes to marriage traditions in India. The main thing is that the marriage is usually arranged by the parents. When it comes to dressing in India the women usually wear a Sari which is a piece of cloth that is draped in different ways. There are many types of these also, they include Bandhani, Patola, Gujarati brocade, Paithani, Chanderi, Gadawal, Banaras brocade, Kota doria, and many more. The men usually wear a Dhoti and/or a Kurta. Dhoti is a piece of cloth that is tied around the waist and part of it is passed between the legs and is tucked at the back. A kurta is a type of an Indian tunic.
