9 1/2″ Cloth Modern Maharashtrain Woman. The doll came with the following information: ” This is a modern Maharashtrain Woman. Maha means great and Rashtra means country. This woman wears a six yard sari as as against a nine yard sari worn in the kasta style. She drapes the sari around and wears a petticoat underneath. A married woman wears the mangal sutra (a gold necklaces with black beads) as a sign of her married status. She has a matching blouse to go with the sari.” I purchased the doll in 1973 at the International Shop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.
