Who told u that mukuta were not there in the period of Ramayana. Though I am not a student of History but I have a good collection of history books by various renowned authors.
In Rig veda there in mention of Mukuta n gold woven cloth worn by God Varuna. It is the first book written by Mankind. India was rich in gold. but we were robbed by foreign attackers
Metallurgy was known to Indians. We indian knew the science of making metal from ores n making alloys. Even people of Harrapan civilisation knew tha art of making metal from ores. They knew embroidry n weaving beacause weaving tools n copper needles were found in excavations. In Valmiki Ramayan there is mention of fine woven n decorated silken robes, gold made mukuts. Dhanush were coated with gold. In Mahabharata there is mention of pearl wovem saaris. Pearl, gems gold n silver wires were use in the border of saarees.
Head band as shown in Ekta's Mahabharat were not there. She's showing Draupadi n other characters wearing tatoos. Arayans never wore tattoos. Tatoos r prohibitted. Putting permanent mark was prohibited.
If u want learn history dont learn it from Ekta's shows those costumes r funny n have little affinity with truth.
