According to Greek records, ancient Indians loved beauty very much. For example, the Cateo people in the upper reaches of the Indus River chose the most beautiful person as their king. There, the baby will be judged by the public in two months to determine whether he has the beauty required by law and whether he has the value of living. If people think he is ugly, the judge will sentence him to death. This is probably unique in the world through the ages. Ancient India has its own fashion tradition. People in the Indus Valley wear knee-length tights made of cotton cloth and a piece of cloth over their shoulders. There are also some exquisite Indians who wear umbrellas and fashionable white leather slippers in summer. Men also wear earrings and dye their beards in various colors. Noble women wore Dai Jinxing, necklaces and bracelets inlaid with precious stones. Noble girls in the Ganges valley wear gorgeous clothes made of flax or yellow and red silk, belts and anklets with bells. People dye their beards in many of the most vivid colors, such as white, dark, red, purple, grass green and so on. Not only women wear makeup, but also some men wear makeup in big cities. After taking a bath every day, they put sesame oil on their bodies and sprinkle some spices on their clothes. Their eyes were painted with ointment, their lips were dyed red, and a thin layer of wax was applied to prevent the red from fading.
