A dhoti is a traditional garment worn by men in various parts of South Asia, particularly in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It is a long piece of cloth, usually made of cotton, that is wrapped around the waist and tied in place. The dhoti is often white or cream in color, but it can also come in various patterns and colors for festive occasions. The dhoti is typically worn during cultural and religious ceremonies, as well as in everyday life in rural areas. It is comfortable and allows for ease of movement, making it suitable for the warm climate of the region. The garment is often paired with a kurta, a long tunic that complements the dhoti.
