Barbie has travelled to almost every country in the world, has a wardrobe more extensive than the finest of A-list celebrities of all time, and has had over 50 careers. It is no wonder that she has now been cast in the rangoli-making avatar of the serene Indian woman clad in a saree. The doll you see on this page is the same tall and curvaceous Barbie that children all over the world know and love, only with the radiant wheatish skin tone and straight black hair atypical of the women of Indian girls.

She is clad in a vibrant purple saree that is amply brocaded with glittering gold colour. The matching border of her saree is trimmed with sparkling golden lace. She is wearing dark purple bangles and a close-fitted necklace of golden beads. Her eyes are dramatically made up, as is the trend with young Indian women, complemented by red lipstick and a tiny bindi between her brow. Note the matching purple hairbrush that you may use to brush her thick tresses before a party or a pooja.
