Gauracandra Posted January 10, 2003 Report Posted January 10, 2003 In the Ramayan is there any description of the clothing that Rama wore? It is said it was composed of bark, but are there any details. The reason I ask is I remember a friend who sold clothing made of tree bark. It was called Bemberg as I recall, and the material was made of tree bark, but it was processed to be very smooth and supple. Tree bark as clothing is difficult to imagine, unless it was of this nature. Any details? Quote
theist Posted January 10, 2003 Report Posted January 10, 2003 recently someone posted on the dress Sita most likely wore, a type of bark, and ofered some details. can't remember where it was though. But you are warm though, its on this forum. Quote
Jahnava Nitai Das Posted January 10, 2003 Report Posted January 10, 2003 The coconut tree produces a natural cloth like substance from its bark. It does not require to be processed in any way, it is already somewhat like cloth. Quote
stonehearted Posted January 10, 2003 Report Posted January 10, 2003 The post was about tapa (or kapa, as it's called in Hawaiian), made from the bark of a mulberry tree. Quote
