6. Dhoti
Men in India wear dhotis, one of the most common types of male traditional Indian clothing. A dhoti is a white or colored cotton strip that is four to six feet in length, and the village males are the principal wearers of this traditional outfit. They use a decorative belt or a flat, plain belt around the waist to keep it in place. However, Dhotis have different names in different languages because of their popularity throughout India. It is known as dhotar in Marathi. A chadra is the Punjabi name for it. Furthermore, they call it “Dhotiyu” in Gujarati and “Pancha” in Telugu; they are a type of plant. Even in Tamil, they call it Veshti and Panche/Lungi in Kannada.
7. Lungi
Sarong, or Lungi, is another traditional Indian garment. Except that leaving all white, it is also a Lungi. Depending on its length, the wearer either tucks it in or drapes it over the knees. On fields or workshops, they tuck it away, leaving it open as an expression of respect in places like churches or when the individual is with officials. In general, lungis are of two types: open lungis and stitched lungis. To make the stitched lungi, both ends are stitched together to produce a tube-like construction.
8. Achkan
Achkan is a tiny jacket with exposed buttons down its length. As a rule of thumb, the jacket’s length is slightly below the knees. There are similarities between the Achkan and the Sherwani, which is a considerably longer coat-jacket style clothing. The collar of the jacket is Nehru-styled. Traditionally, people wore the Achkan with churidars, which are long, tight-fitting trousers. For both formal and informal situations, they created achkan from a variety of textiles. Traditional Indian needlework, gotta, and badla decorate the achkan.

This cloth is for an Indian man who loves to wear traditional Indian men’s clothing, and it got its name from a Sanskrit word, Aṅgarakṣaka, meaning the protection of the body. People wore it in many Indian subcontinents, but the fashions and lengths differed from one region to another. On the Indian subcontinent, angarkha is a traditional top garment that overlaps and stays at either the left or right shoulder. Ancient Indians used Angrakha as a wraparound court dress since it was easy to tie and knot throughout the many principalities.

Even the coat and trousers are equally paired.
