Dress. The Vedic Aryans used the deer-skin or woollen cloth for garments. The dress usually worn consisted either of three or of two garments. Luxury manifested itself in the wearing of variegated garments or clothing adorned with gold. The hair was carefully combed and oiled. Women wore it plaited, and in some cases men wore it in coils : it was a characteristic of the Vasisthas to have it coiled on the right. Shaving was not unknown, but beards were normally worn, and on festive occasions men bore garlands.
