In this paper, we establish suitable characterisations for a pair of functions $(W(x), H(x))$ on a bounded, connected domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ in order to have the following Hardy inequality \begin{equation*} \int_{\Omega} W(x) |\nabla u|_A^2 dx \geq \int_{\Omega} |\nabla d|^2_AH(x)|u|^2 dx, \,\,\, u \in C^{1}_0(\Omega), \end{equation*} where $d(x)$ is a suitable quasi-norm (gauge), $|\xi|^2_A = \langle A(x)\xi, \xi \rangle$ for $\xi \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and $A(x)$ is an $n\times n$ symmetric, uniformly positive definite matrix defined on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$.
