A YASHMAK and a chador are both veils worn by Muslim women. A YASHMAK is a seven-letter veil that covers the face, leaving only the eyes visible. It is usually made of sheer fabric and is often decorated with embroidery. A chador is a six-letter veil that covers the entire body from head to toe. It is usually made of heavier fabric and is often plain in color. Both veils are used to maintain modesty and privacy for Muslim women.
