Abstract

The present paper treats different type of costumes provided to the images of princely figures, commonly known as Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist art of Gandharan art. The survey of Buddhist sculptures housed in different museums in Pakistan and abroad have brought to light many examples of costumes such as uttariya, paridhana, patika, trousers, girdles, cords, and ribbons etc worn by the Bodhisattvas. The current study is therefore focusing on the clothing material and tailoring techniques of dresses of ancient Gandhara.
