No garment symbolizes Indian womanhood like the sari. Worn differently in every region (the Gujarati seedha pallu , the Bengali aatpoure , or the Maharashtrian nauvari ), it is a remarkably democratic garment.

A woman from Punjab will master the art of making buttery parathas and dal makhani , while her counterpart in Tamil Nadu is an expert in fermenting idli batter and tempering sambar . The "tiffin box" is a cultural artifact—a husband or child’s lunchbox packed with love is a measure of a woman’s care. However, this is changing.
