उत्तर
Housing:
Desert areas-
The climate in the deserts is extreme. The summers are very hot and dry. Sandstorms are common in this season. Water becomes scarce and in many places, there is a severe drought. Most places receive little or no rainfall.
North-eastern areas-
Northeast is not a single unit. It consists of 7 states with people belonging to diverse cultures, ethnic groups, and religions. A person living in Assam will have a very different lifestyle from an individual living in Manipur. Life in the cities and small towns is different from life in far-flung villages. However, there’s one characteristic in most Northeastern states that is common and that is simplicity.
South India:
Different states of South India have different cultures. Different states have their own festivals, dance forms, and food preferences. The climate, however, is similar in these states due to their close geographical proximity.
Clothing:
- You might find in Rajasthan, people wearing loose cotton clothes as day experiences real hot weather and night experiences real chilly weather, and people at nightwear warm clothes.
- In Jammu and Kashmir, people experience cold all time and so their dresses are designed likewise to avoid chillness.
- Chennai and places like Bangalore experience moderate climate so they wear cotton or synthetic clothes. (type of clothing style changes from season to season in these areas)
