This is one of the sixteen beauty enhancement ornaments (solah shringar) described in Vedic books. You must have seen these elegant kamarbands on the waistline of Kathak, Bhartnatyam and Odishi dancers.

Place your arms behind your head and slowly curl your torso upwards, twisting your body slightly so your right shoulder faces your left knee. Repeat with the other side of your body.
Mathinna is dressed in a brown skirt and crop top with ochre painting on her body, a necklace and bare feet that clearly demonstrates her being in an aboriginal culture. Men and women in aboriginal cultures would wear body decorations and in Mathinna’s case (her necklace) would all be made from things found naturally. Most body decorations would be worn during special occasions and ceremonies (Daily Life, 2014). Therefore Mathinna wears this necklace to effectively portray that she is going to do a traditional stylised ceremony. Mathinna wore her hair down which was messy when she was in her aboriginal stylised clothing, thus in her culture there wouldn’t be such thing as a hair tie, and therefore this has heightened the representation of her aboriginal stylised clothing.

Two authors, Guy de Maupassant the author of “The Necklace”, and Chinua Achebe the author of “Civil Peace”, wrote short stories where views on materialism are portrayed by characters in similar and in different ways. Madame Loisel from “The Necklace” is a middle class woman who always dreams of becoming rich but ended being poor because of valuing the necklace more than anything to her that caused her happiness at first but years of suffering after .
Native Americans Native Americans are very different from other tribes. They eat, live, dress and do many things differently. The things I’m going to be talking about in my interesting paper is What they eat? What they wear? Where they live?
Since it’s getting late time of this photo, it is genuinely sheltered to expect this setting is in the northern portion of the United States. Northern Natives were compelled to wear heavier dress prior in the year because of the way that the atmosphere turned out to be much cooler, much prior in the year, than the atmosphere in the southern portion of the nation. The way that this lady is wearing a yoke recommends that the outside temperature kept the inside sufficiently cool that she thought it justified wearing dress suited to cooler climate. Likewise, the style of her dress shows she is of a northern field’s country (Program). Most northern countries wore some design of a yoke or robe over their dresses to keep up both pride and body heat.
