Veils are pieces of fabric worn to cover the face or head, often associated with cultural or religious practices. They can vary in style, length, and material, serving different purposes, such as modesty, tradition, or fashion. Common types include the hijab, niqab, and burqa, each with distinct characteristics and significance in various cultures. In many societies, veils symbolize identity and beliefs. For instance, in Islam, wearing a veil can represent faith and adherence to religious guidelines. In other contexts, veils may be used in ceremonies, such as weddings, where they signify purity and transition.
