Women may have a couple of synthetic saris, using a blouse and lungi for daily wear, and own no gold jewellery other than the thin chain holding their marriage tali.
They do marriages among their community and their attire consists of a shirt and lungi.
There is a difference in the way a dhoti and lungi is worn.
Though mostly worn by men, elderly women also prefer lungi to other garments owing to its good aeration.
In the daytime they wear kurta and lungi, and stay at a railway station, bus stand or empty plot of a colony.
Lungis, generally, are of two types: the open lungi and the stitched lungi.
Bangladeshi men wear "lungi" as casual wear (in rural areas) and shirt-pant or suits on formal occasions.
While a lungi is more like a wrap around, wearing the dhoti involves the creation of pleats by folding it.
