    Most people in ancient India lived in self-sufficient villages, growing grains like jowar, bajra, wheat, and rice to meet their basic needs. Their simple diet consisted mainly of bhakari, onion, and chutney. Transactions were typically done through barter since money was not widely used. Village houses were basic mud and brick structures while cities had some multi-story residences for richer families, who ate foods like rice, dal, chapatis and drank milk products. Men and women wore traditional outfits like dhotis, kurtas and sarees.

    <p>Standard of living : A majority of
    people lived in villages. The villages were
    mostly self-sufficient. Only salt had to be
    imported from other places. The needs of
    farmers were limited. They grew jowar,
    bajra, wheat, ragi (nachani), maize, rice
    and other grains in their fields. The daily
    diet consisted of bhakari, onion, chutney
    and an accompaniment. Barter system was
    used for everyday transactions. Village
    houses were simple mud and brick
    constructions. Wadas with one or two
    storeys were seen in cities. Rice, dal,
    chapatis, vegetables, salads, milk and dahi
    products were mainly included in the rich
    people’s diet. Men wore a dhoti, kurta,
    angarakha and mundase. Women wore
    nine-yard sarees and blouses.</p>
