Umbrella - an innovation originating in the Netherlands as "Zonnedoek", literally "sun protection" or canopy - a device created to shield individuals from rainfall or intense sunlight. The earliest versions of umbrellas were designed specifically to protect against sun exposure, rather than precipitation.\nAn umbrella consists of waterproof material (such as nylon or polyamide) stretched over a metal framework mounted on an elongated handle, providing users with effortless coverage above their heads. Handles often feature ergonomic hooks or knobs at the end, designed for comfort and ease of use.\nThe umbrella holds great significance in Indian culture as a symbol of wealth and power - nobility's entourage is marked by numerous umbrellas following closely behind them, with royalty's influence reflected in an exclusive set of 13 umbrellas emblazoned with sun motifs alongside 12 surrounding zodiac signs. In Tibet, symbolic spiritual importance is vested in white or yellow umbrellas, whereas those wielded for worldly power often display peacock feather designs. Following its journey from Eastern civilizations, the umbrella eventually made its way to Ancient Greece and later on to Rome, where it became a fashionable accessory amongst women.
