femininity in Indian culture is so prevalent!

Honestly, what comes to your mind when I say Indian culture?… Saree, long hair, Bollywood, dance and a lot more. I always had a great fascination for Indian femininity; how they express it and how natural it is for a lot of them to do so. But what and how is femininity in India?

Before I even jump into the subject I want to make a quick disclaimer: I am in no way a sociologist, an anthropologist, or anything in that field. I am simply showcasing my vision and admiration for this wonderful culture.

What I know and think about femininity in India:


First of all, it’s beautiful gorgeous and authentic. I believe The first way they express their femininity is through their smile and their gesture. Feminine Indian women are careful and mindful with every single one of their moves Whether they are introverted or extroverted. Femininity does not equal personality. They have this joyful childlike attitude, but with a glimpse of sensuality and charm. From the hands, the posture, the smile, the eyes, they just know-how to present themselves

Another way they express their femininity is through their physic. through their long thick and and shiny hair; through their clothing (colors, style) and through their beautiful healthy skin.

There is so much more when it comes to Indian femininity like rituals, practices and recipes and I will gladly share more later. But for now, here is my impression of femininity in India.
