Dress

The limited depictions of clothing during Harappan period shows that men wore a cloth around the waist, resembling a modern dhoti and like it, often passed between the legs and tucked up behind.

The so-called "Priest-king" and other stone figures also wore a long robe over the left shoulder, leaving bare the right shoulder and chest. Women's clothing seems to have been a knee-length skirt. Figurines and finds in graves show that Harappans of both sexes wore jewellery.

• In the Vedic period, the garments mainly included a single cloth wrapped around the whole body and draped over the shoulder.
• ‘Paridhana’ ....
