In a country in which religion has made a pronounced mark on day-to-day living, beauty resonates like a divine echo, and continues to impact bodies, appearances and behaviour.

Yet Indian society is undergoing transformation and women are increasingly aspiring to another life, free from traditional models. Various Indian women give us their vision of Indian beauty and of the evolution of a society in which women are the agents of change. These women include traditional dancer Sujata Mohapatra, director Aparna Sen, designer Anamika Khanna, beauty queen Richa Sharma, young Indian heiress Suraja Tagore, and Threety Irani, the first woman to have opened a beauty salon in East India.
