Lungi and Dhoti

Whats the difference?

Heard that is East Pakistan (now BenglaDesh), Muslims used to wear lungi and Hindus Dhoti to distinguish themselves?

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

not necessary, in Sothern India, everyone wears lungi :)

But is there any difference?

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

including Rajni sir :p

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

maybe lungi is shorter :p

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

you mean dhoti main ziada kapRa lagta hai

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

Difference is in the way both are tied along the legs

Lungi is larger :D

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

maybe, its my guess :p gandhi ki shakkal yaad aa rahi hay :p

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

gandhi ji dhoti pehnte the ya lungi? :konfused:

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

explain further. I think, we are going to resolve this mystery :)

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

Jo bhi pehenta tha, kaafi short hi tha.. :blush:

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

and I always thought dhoti n lungi are same,dhoti in punjabi n lungi in Urdu :p

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

in urdu its langoti… bhagte chor ki langoti

langoti se yaad aaya langot jis se ‘langotiya’ ki term nikli hai…

ab ye sari cheezen aapus main kaise link hai :hmmm:

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

both are same, dhoti is in punjabi, lungi is in urdu
langoti is something else, its the shortest of them all, desi underware

baqi har zaban main alag alag naam hongay, bandhnay ka style bhi mukhtalif hay
kuch samnay bandhtay hain, kuch peechay, kuch side par. kuch ki pairoon kay neechay tak hoti hay kuch takhnoon tak aur kuch ghutnoon say bhee ooper

aur wo to aapnay suna hee hoga, dhoti dhoti na dhoti na dhoti

hamaray yahan forum par "dhoti main dhamaka" ko to sab jantay hain, kisi zamanay main aik thread bhi tha "dhoti kay faiday"

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

Dhoti main dhamaka :omg:

I wish he visits this thread aur apne khayalaat ka izhar karen

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

lungi is like night wear similiar to shorts which is used in home ...
normal traditional wear we call it pancha in telugu which is similar to dhoti

also generally south indians(atleast here in andhra) don't prefer traditional clothes unlike northern part,shirts/pants have been used since grandapa generation here even in villages

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

Pics dekh ke pata lag sakta hai ke what is he wearing :hmmm:

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

Do you know lucha? I think It's also like dhoti.

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

Oh jese wo kehte hain ke ‘bachpan ka langutiya dost’ :hmmm:

Re: Lungi and Dhoti

lucha nahi lacha
aur ye bhee dhoti hi hay, magar lacha zara reshmi kapray ka aur bharkeelay rangoon ka hota hay, taqreebat waghera main pehennay k liye
