People in India wore mostly cotton clothing. India was the first place where cotton

was grown, even as early as 2500 BC in the Harappan period.

By the Aryan period, women wore one very long piece ofclothcalled a sari, that they

wrapped around themselves in different ways. The word sari comes from a Sanskritword that just means cloth. Saris are first mentioned in the Vedas, about 600 BC. Rich

women wore saris made ofsilk, but most women wore cotton ones.There were many

different ways of draping saris to dress up women wore them like skirts with a top

part thrown over their shoulder or worn over their heads as a veil. Working women

often pulled their sari up between their legs to make a sort of pants. Women who were

fighting with the army tucked in the top part of the sari in the back, to free up their

arms for fighting. Most saris were five or six yards long, although some saris were

nine yards. Younger women generally wore brightly colored saris, but widows and

other women in mourning wore only white ones.

Men also wore one long piece of cloth called the dhoti, which was generally white.They wrapped the dhoti (DOE-tee) around their legs to make sort of pants like the

working women. Dhotis though were shorter so they didnt have the part that covered

the chest and shoulders. Men also often wore long cotton cloths wrapped around their

heads as turbans.

With the Islamic invasions around 1000 AD, Persian fashions in clothing entered

India and became popular especially in the north, though they never replaced the sari

or the dhoti. Both women and men began to sometimes wear trousers with long tunics

over them down to their knees. The trousers are called churidar. Women generally

wore churidar with a long veil or scarf over it.Indian women who could afford it generally wore a lot of silver or gold jewelry,

especially earrings and nose-rings. Sometimes they also put a spot of red on their

foreheads called a bindi (BINN-dee) as a decoration.
