Traditionally, in a similar fashion to orthodox Muslim women, after marriage Hindu women were also supposed to veil their faces with a fabric called a ghoonghat. Tides began changing around the 3rd century CE, as is chronicled in an ancient sutra, in which a bride refuses to hide her face, insisting that women who veil their minds have no need to veil their faces. In most parts of India women no longer cover their faces, however the old tradition is still somewhat preserved by the duppata, which must be worn by Indians (Hindu and Muslims alike) when entering a place of worship.
Bonus:
Leonardo DiCaprio and National Geographic have teamed up for a powerful documentary about climate change.
