Not only their literature, but also their ethics and morals, traditions, attire and national-cultural distinctiveness set them apart from the peoples of the world. Furthermore, this article discusses the Mughal dynasty and their clothing, as well as jewelry. The article sheds light on aspects related to the names of ornaments, perfumes, jewelry, and clothing. It advances scholarly views on how the attire characteristic of the Mughal court in ancient times currently called differently in various languages, and on the jewelry of Mughal women. The historical connections of jewelry made of gold and silver to specific figures are also illuminated. Also this article analyses the national and cultural features of Mughal ladies’ clothing and jewelries they put on
