Indian English
A traditional garment for men in South Asia, consisting of a long rectangular piece of cloth wrapped around the waist and legs and often tied between them.
The dhoti is draped and knotted by hand rather than sewn, and the exact style of wrapping varies by region, occasion, and community across India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It is commonly worn with a kurta on formal or religious occasions, though everyday use has declined in favour of trousers in many cities. White cotton is the traditional material, though silk versions are worn for weddings and ceremonies.
