<P> Indians have mainly worn clothing made up of locally grown cotton . India was the one of the first places where cotton was cultivated and used even as early as 2500 BC during the Harappan era . The remnants of the ancient Indian clothing can be found in the figurines discovered from the sites near the Indus Valley Civilisation , the rock cut sculptures , the cave paintings , and human art forms found in temples and monuments . These scriptures view the figures of human wearing the clothes which can be wrapped around the body . Taking the instances of the sari to that of turban and the dhoti , the traditional Indian wears were mostly tied around the body in various ways . The clothing system was also related to the social and economic status of the person . The upper classes of the society wore fine muslin garments and silk fabrics while the common classes wore garments made up of locally made fabrics . For instance , women from rich families wore clothes ( sari specifically ) made up of silk from China , but the common women wore sari made up of cotton or local fabrics . The Indus civilisation knew the process of silk production . Recent analysis of Harappan silk fibres in beads have shown that silk was made by the process of reeling , the art known only to China till the early centuries AD . </P>
