Bollywood is the largest film industry in the world, making more than 1000 films each year – twice as many as Hollywood.

Bollywood is the informal name given to the popular Mumbai-based Hindi language film indus-try in India. The name is a blend of Bombay, the English name for Mumbai, and Hollywood, the centre of the American film industry. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollywood)

Indian style

The traditional Indian clothes for women are called sari (also spelled saree). Men often wear special shirts called kurta, often in combination with colourful scarves.

Bangles and earrings are part of traditional Indian jewelry. Bangles are worn mainly by women, but men also wear them, on their arms and wrists. They are usually circular in shape, and, in contrast to bracelets, are not flexible. Most Indian women like to wear either gold or glass ban-gles or both in combination. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangle)

A bindi (Hindi: meaning „dot“) is an Indian forehead decoration. Married Hindu women traditi-onally wear a bindi on their foreheads. The traditional bindi is made with red powder. It is put low in the center of the forehead, close to the eyebrows. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bindi_(decoration))
