Welcome to A look at... Religious Clothing
On our website we strive to provide the most basic but thorough knowledge of both Islamic and Hindu clothing traditions for women, and how the world is reacting to them today. For Islamic women, we provide an overview of the various types of traditional clothing, and their background in the Islamic sacred text, the Qur'an. For Hinduism, we look at traditional clothing, accessories, and make-up. Please note that due to the close relation of Hinduism and India, at times the words may be nearly interchangeable, so Indian-style will most often refer to traditional Hindu style.
As with many things, issues arise due to prejudice and misinformation in the world, and so we will also provide an overview of various controversies surrounding Islamic and Hindu clothing. Due to the nature of the two traditions, Islam does lend to more controversy than Hinduism, and so there may be an imbalance between the two here on our site.
