Indian Literature, speaks of the bhairnivasini, a skirt like garment, which evolved from the antariya, a simple tube-shaped garment. This was stitched on one side, gathered and held at the waist by a girdle. Women wore it as a lower garment. It later evolved into a skirt with a drawstring called the ghaghri. The ghaghri was a narrow skirt, made from five and a half metres of fabric - the same length as the original antariya. Representations of a similar garment can be seen in Buddist sculptures and paintings dating from the kushana or early Gupta period. This was probably the prototype of the modern ghaghra.
