Importance of Shawls and Wraps in Great Epics of India

The great epics, too, mention cloths of wool. In the Ramayana, Sita was gifted shawls by her father, King Janaka; and when Prince Bharata went to bring Rama back from his exile in the forest, he was followed by the kambalakars or blanket makers of Ayodhya. In Mahabharata, the people of Kamboj are said to have presented Yudhishthira with costly shawls of fine wool embroidered with gold thread. A Kashmiri tradition centred around the same epic says that, before the great battle of Kurukshetra, when Krishna went to the Kaurava court as an emissary of the Pandavas, the gifts of the blind king Dhritarashtra included "ten thousand shawls of Kashmir".
