Vikaccha (विकच्छ) refers to a certain fashion of wearing the lower garment (i.e. without the ends of it being tucked up behind), during the reign of the ṭa첹 (mid-3rd century CE).—Ajaṇṭā paintings give us a clear idea of the costume and jewellery worn by men and women in Vidarbha in the age of the ṭa첹. Most of them are shown dressed in a short Գٲīⲹ첹 or lower garment. As it did not cover the knees, it was called ardhoruka. [...] Women also wore their lower garment in a similar fashion. This is clear from one end of it dangling behind when they are shown seated or standing with the back turned towards others. Some women, however, wore their lower garment in the vikaccha fashion i.e. without the ends of it being tucked up behind. Some men wore a pair of shorts which were tied with a band called 첹ṭiԻ. This kind of lower garment was called ṇḍٲ첹. From the Harṣacarita we learn that women also used to wear such a ṇḍٲ첹 or underwear inside a long robe or 첹ñܰ첹.
