Traditional dress

In India, people's religious belief, race, class and region can be seen from different costumes. Indian women

Men wear headscarves; women wear saris; the daily diet of Indians varies greatly between the north and the south. Northerners live on wheat, corn and beans, and especially like to eat a kind of pancake called "Chabati". People in the southern and eastern coastal areas live on rice and like fried rice. The Deccan Plateau in central China is dominated by millet and miscellaneous grains. Indians like to eat spicy food with curry.
