Mauryan & Sunga Periods (321-72 BC)


I'm in a world of antaryias, kayabandh, and uttariyas and wondering how I'm going to compress the tons of information I've gathered about the fascinating history of Indian fashion.

antariya - lower garmnet
kayabandh - sash
uttariya - unstitched upper garment or scarf

Left - my design for an adaption of an ancient picture into a modern party garment (I chose a picture from the Kushan period)
