For an Indian, there is nothing more comforting than wrapping oneself in a soft warm shawl to keep warm in winter. It wears handsomely over a sari or over trousers, evening gowns and Indian menswear and converts easily into a throw, a child’s wrap or a knee warmer. In India, it also serves as a warm permanent head and upper body covering in cold weather, while a fine Kullu Wool shawl gives enough warmth even if draped loosely over the shoulders as a fashion accessory.
