The other piece, called lungi, consists of a long and narrow piece of cotton cloth (not to be confused with a waist cloth wrapped in some regions).
The open lungi is a plain sheet of cotton or silk, whereas, the stitched one has both of its open ends stitched together to form a tube like structure.
But most of his time he spent in his "ganji" and "lungi".
The gents prefer to wear lungi at home whereas shirt and pants is the preferred attire outdoors.
Men with a white turban and a white lungi carrying agri tools are still a common scene here in this village.
The lungi is draped over clockwise or counterclockwise and is tied at the back or fixed just along the waist line.
A standard lungi measures 2.12 by 1.2 metres.
While a lungi is more like a wrap around, wearing the dhoti involves the creation of pleats by folding it.
