Dhoti and Panche in the South
In Karnataka and Andhra Dhoti is worn as a formal dress but Panchei (white) is more informal. Off course designer colored lungi are informal / night dress.
Again it is relative.
In Kerala and TN it is just Panchei.
I love Panchei. I were it when I attend Desi get togethers in Los Angles, for walks after supper and many times to Airport when I have to see off people at night.
I feel very comfortable in it. It takes TIME to get used to it.
After that no need for an AC <!--emo&
