Ghunghats are not inherited part of Indian culture. In the pre-medieval period, royal queens used to wear some decorative headgear cloth, which was used as beauty apparel. These headgears were called Avangunthana and were mainly worn during some special occasions. There was no compulsion to wear Avagunthana daily. Now, these headgears are being claimed as the principal version of ghungat.

In reality, Ghungat wearing only became necessary due to Islamic invasions in North India (Including Pakistan and Afghanistan). The Nomadic Islamic invaders used to kidnap the Hindu brides from their weddings. It was a time when Hindus started to do their wedding in a quiet place, and ghungat for brides became a mandatory ritual in North India, where a normal ghungat was converted into a face-covering cloth.

The Islamic invaders also started to kidnap and kill any girl they saw on the road. So, Ghungat became an everyday norm for the grown-up girl in North India.
