Mourning a Friend of India

Today, while browsing BBC, I learnt that Chantal Boulanger-Maloney died earlier this year. She was an early admirer of Kamat's Potpourri (that's how I'd interacted with her) and great friend of India. Goddesses in Indian culture fascinated her and she spent may years in India studying temples, women, and especially sarees. In her last years she worked to establish a "Museum of Unstitched Cloth" exhibiting such attire as turbans, lungi (mundu), dhoti, and of course varieties of sarees. See Also: • Saris and Temples Exhibit at BBC • Chantal Boulanger-Maloney's Website • Sari Varieties -- Different ways of draping the Indian Sari; includes pictures of sari wearing styles.
