Clothing is a form of nonverbal communication that conveys emotions, behaviour and differentiation.As a matter of ancient tradition, India may be called a land of spirituality. People flock to the ghats or steps, leading from temples down to the banks of the sacred Ganga in their search for an auspicious site for death, cremation or immersion of ashes. Bathing in these rivers is considered a praiseworthy act.However, changing an outfit with full dignity and respect at these places is a frequent problem faced by young females and women. In view of the above, the present research work on “Assessment of the need of outfits changing space for women at communal holy places” has been planned to assessthe need of some portable changing module to facilitate them in getting dressed and undressed publicly. This study highlights the opinion of the women pilgrims regarding outfits changing space at holy or public places which is an inexpensive, durable, light weight and easily transportable form and which can also be assembled and disassembled in a timely manner. The researcher also designed a ‘Portable changing module,’ which was found very useful and practical for women while changing their clothes at open spaces or ghats.
