Traditionally, the best man is a man, not a woman.
However, it's your wedding, so you can do whatever you want. There's no law stating that best men have to be men. Although, if you are getting married in a conservative church or synagogue, it would be best to ask the church/synagogue's officials for approval.
Actually, according to the Related Link below, women have been serving as the best man more and more frequently nowadays!
The groom chooses his closest friend to be his best man and the best man is there to wait on the groom before the wedding.

You mean the Groom's Best man? No. The presents are only for the Bride and Groom. Unless the religion/culture hints otherwise. But for Christians, Atheists, Jews and such: Just the Bride and Groom get presents.

AS such, there is no b est man at an Indian wedding. In North India certainly and possibly in South India as well, a young child (nephew or a close relation) is dressed almost like the groom, rides with the groom and accompanies him at many occassions. In north India, he is called a 'Shehbala.'
the closest friend to the groom. He needs to be trust worthy to the groom too!
