well i am an indian girl. our culture has lots and lots and lots of superstitions. our culture insisted on married couples to stay with in l;aws bcos thats how we pay our respect. living to gether before marriage is seen as sin...........we have this chain called 'thalee' which is used during the marriage. the bridegroon will tie the 'talee' which is a yellow rope in a form of a chain to our neck. our official dress is the saree.
we celebrate DEEPAVALI towards the end of the year
we do have small prayers like PONGGAL, INDIAN NEW YEAR and so on throughout the year.
we always use the oil on DEEPAVALI before bathing becos that is one of out beliefs.................yoga is something that we look up on to.
basically meditation is part of our culture.
