Everyday Life of Ancient Bengal People: Food Habits and Dress-up

Author(s) Irin Akter
Country Bangladesh
Abstract Food and clothing are two of the basic human needs. From cavemen to the modern age of mechanized civilization, people love to taste new foods. The number of foodies in today’s society is not very small. Similarly, it is not an exception in the case of clothing. The market is now flooded with new designs and styles of clothing. My current research is based on my interest to know about the food habits and clothing styles of the people of Ancient Bengal. Starting from knowing what kind of food the people of Ancient Bengal liked to eat, what kind of food they kept in their daily bill of fare, what kind of food was customary to eat at weddings or any festival, whether there was any difference in the diet of the rich society and the poor society, a clear idea of the human food chart can be obtained from this study. Besides, what kind of clothes did the people of Ancient Bengal wear, what was the style of clothing of men and women, whether there was any different in the style of clothing of upper class and lower-class family members, what kind of clothes were worn during festivals, many knowledge seekers are interested in knowing about these issues. But due to the lack of adequate and detailed research on Ancient Bengal, there is less scope to know about these issues. It was mainly with this goal in mind that I conducted my research.
Keywords Bill of fare, Cloves, Janapada, Saree, Dhuti.
