It has been suggested that some form of sari may have been worn as far back as that period . Before the advent of tailoring in Indian culture, unsewn cloths, likely made of cotton were worn wrapped around the body.White - White is a spiritually significant color often found in garments worn at religious ceremonies. Fabric dyeing of any sort is traditionally regarded as being spiritually impure. Priests are therefore often associated with this color.
