An Indian loincloth is a traditional garment worn by men in India. It is also known as a DHOTI or a lungi, both of which are five letter words. The DHOTI is a long piece of cloth that is wrapped around the waist and legs, while the lungi is a shorter version of the DHOTI. Both garments are usually made from cotton and are often brightly colored. They are commonly worn in rural areas and are considered to be a symbol of Indian culture.
