Veshti
A veshti
Style
Like many wrap clothes, the vēṭṭi varies in wearing style. It is often simply wrapped around the waist, secured by a corner being tucked beneath the wrapped cloth. It is also worn as Sarong, unlike dhoti, which is looped between the legs.[2] A belt is also used over it (less popular now) just below the closing.[3]
Men and women both wear it. For women, the drape is known as vēṭṭi -mundu.[3][4]
Political identity
Various border (Saffron, red, green, and blue) colors of vēṭṭi represent different political parties' identities in India.[2][5]
