The Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) was a Bronze age civilization in the northwestern regions of south asia , lasting from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE, and in its mature form from 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE.
It flourished in the basins of the Indus River, which flows through the length of Pakistan, and along a system of perennial, mostly monsoon-fed, rivers that once coursed in the vicinity of the seasonal Ghaggar-Hakra river in northwest India and eastern Pakistan.

Based on the official data from the haparra.com, People of the Indus valley civilization had access to minimum kind of fabric known to them and the the majority of them are

•Cotton

•Jute

•Silk

Types of wool

•As I said textiles are rarely preserved and back at those days the Harappan figurines are usually unclothed, so there is not much evidence of Harappan clothing.

•

• Small fragments of cloth preserved in the corrosion products of metal objects show that the Harappans wove a range of grades of cotton cloth.

•

•The Harappans also probably continued the earlier tradition of making clothing from leather. Dyeing facilities indicate that cotton cloth was probably dyed a range of colors, although there is only one surviving fragment of coloured cloth, dyed red with madder; it is likely that indigo and turmeric were also used as dyes.

•The limited depictions of clothing show that men wore a cloth around the waist, resembling a modern dhoti and like it, often passed between the legs and tucked up behind. The so-called “Priest-king” and other stone figures also wore a long robe over the left shoulder, leaving bare the right shoulder and chest.

•Some male figurines are shown wearing a turban. Woman’s clothing seems to have been a knee-length skirt. hair fillets, bead necklaces and bangles for men; bangles, earrings, rings, anklets, belts made of strings of beads, pendants, chokers and numerous necklaces for women, as well as elaborate hairstyles and headdresses.

•The only evidence we have is from iconography and figurines as far as dress styles are concerned, and it is not sure that these even represent what was worn by everyday people. Quite possibly dress may have been based on lengths of cloth that were folded and draped in different ways. Skins also may have been used for cold weather and to make items like belts, quivers, etc.

This was my first photoshoot project where we had given a history period we had to do research make organic cosmetic and search for clothing and Jewellery from that period and ensemble the whole thing together with the backdrop and poses.
The whole outfit consists of a dhoti on the bottom and a duppata which is converted to blouse in a style, hair is braided with ornaments made up of metals and terracotta showing the raw look as that is the first civilization to begin.
