A cream and gold men's veshti with a matching angavastram, in poly silk. The veshti is the lower garment, wrapped and tied at the waist; the angavastram is the shorter cloth worn over the shoulder, and the two are made to be worn together.
Poly silk holds the gold zari border cleanly and does not crease the way pure cotton does over a long ceremony, which is why it has become the practical choice for weddings and temple visits rather than everyday wear.
When it is worn: South Indian weddings, temple visits, pooja at home, Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri. In many families it is the expected dress for the men of the household at any ceremony where a priest is officiating.
Details: Material: poly silk Colour: cream with gold border Set: veshti with matching angavastram Also known as: dhoti, vasti, mundu
Please allow for slight variation between the photograph and the cloth — gold zari is difficult to capture accurately on camera.
Care: Dry clean recommended. If hand washing, wash separately in cold water and iron on the reverse to protect the zari.
