Ancient Indians wore (some still wear) an unstiched garment called dhoti. This was a 9 meter long loincloth that was wraped wrapped around loins, drawn between legs and tucked in at waist. Both sexes wear it the same way. That of ladies is coloured in bright colours. And that of men is either white or in sober colours.

     Ancient Indians wore lot of jewellery. It was used both by men and women as crowns, armbands (baju-bandha), waist belt (Kaya-bandh), bangles for both sexes (choodi), leg bangles or anklets (painjan), ear rings (jhumka), nose rings (nath), rings on fingers (anguthi) and toes (jodavi) as well, hair odornments in case there was no crown.

     Indian women also wore the Saree which is a 5 to 9.5 yards fabrid tied loosely, folded and pleated. The Saree is supposed to not completely cover the stomach of a woman. A gold silver or cloth belt was fastened which kept pallu (upper cover) pleats and folds intact. The Saree and the dhoti are essentially the same piece of fabric with different styles of drapping.
