NORTH INDIAN CULTURE


North Indian culture




Culture can be termed as collective achievements by a group of people. It comprises of customs, values, beliefs, life style, heritage and arts (music, painting, dance and handicrafts etc.). The social attitude and behavior of any social group are determined by its culture.
Most of the people down south believe that customs and traditions followed by people in north is extravagant , for example  marriages. North Indian culture is followed most prominently in 7 northern states which include Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh. Although Rajasthan , Madhya Pradesh and Bihar are considered as northern states for their cultural and linguistic similarities and heritage they were not formally a part of North India.

CLOTHING:

The daily outfit of northern people is salwar- kameez for women and kurta for men. During marriage brides are supposed  to wear Ghagra -Choli which literally make them look like angels brought to earth from heaven. Men from Punjab wear a headgear which is known as As TURBAN, PAGDI etc. it’s a custom which people in Northern India follow seriously because it is for honor.
