The custom of presenting clothes is as old as the Vedas. Clothes were given as gift to Brahmins on certain occasions like sacrifice, child birth, marriage ceremony and 艢谤腻诲诲丑补. No ritual was considered complete without presenting clothes as gift. Clothes were presented as dowry and were made as offerings. They were made as rewards or as a mark of pleasure to the servants by kings. Since clothes were considered one of the primary needs, maid servants were often rewarded with costly clothes for their work. Clothes were sent as gift articles along with the messengers going to other countries.
