Description
All Rohingya women in Myanmar carry a sathi when outside, even liberal Rohingya women. The sathi allows Rohingya women to maintain purdah wherever they go. It is also used as fashion accessory and sun umbrella throughout Myanmar, among Buddhist communities and Muslim. Umbrellas help women stay cool and protect from the sun and rain. They can be found in many beautiful designs and colors.
