A Dupatta is …, written by Marzieh Abbas and vividly brought to life by the artwork of Anu Chouhan, is a loving and lyrical ode to the dupatta.
A dupatta is so much more than a beautiful piece of fabric.
A dupatta is sound — swooshing and swashing like a superhero cape.
A dupatta is scent — cinnamon and cardamom, crushed coriander and peppermint oil.
A dupatta is fun — playing peekaboo and building cushion forts with dupatta canopies.
These shawls — traditionally worn by women in various cultures of South Asia — are beautiful and colorful of course, but they're also fun, functional, and carry the sounds and smells of family and identity.
