A loincloth is a type of clothing that covers the lower body and is typically worn in hot climates. It is also known as a DHOTI or lungi, both of which are five-letter words commonly used to describe this garment. DHOTI is a traditional Indian garment, while lungi is a traditional South Asian garment. Both garments are made from a single piece of cloth and are usually secured around the waist with a drawstring. Loincloths are often worn by men, but can also be worn by women.
