Abstract [English]

Bollywood has always been inspired by the grandeur of the royalty of the Rajputana rulers of Rajasthan, and many historical drama films and web series have been created with inspiration from Rajasthan's royal dynasties. The research examines historical drama costumes as a sphere of popular culture based on developments around 2000. First, historical dramas are separated into three categories: actual historical plays, popular dramas, and combination dramas. Historical drama clothing depicts people's status and roles, allowing spectators to become immersed in the dramas and gain a better appreciation of historical periods and expertise. Second, the peculiarities of TV historical drama costumes contributed to diversification because they vary by period, genre, and character, and costumes appropriate for them also resurfaced. Third, regarding the design characteristics of TV historical costumes after the 2000s, real historical plays were designed using comparative in-depth historical studies based on historical sources to help the public comprehend the past. Popular historical theatrical performance costumes are accurate to the era, but their contours have been enhanced (or exaggerated); also, hues, topics, and patterns have undergone modifications to capitalize on visual charm, drama atmosphere, and personas by conveying objective. The fusion of historical theatrical costumes drew public attention to royal designs that blended history and contemporary to proactively incorporate current trends from previous eras and exhibit new creative designs.
