The traditional attire of Maharashtra for men includes the dhoti, a long piece of unstitched cloth wrapped around the waist, and the pheta, a turban or pagri worn on the head. These are often worn during special occasions and festivals.
Dhoti:
A dhoti is a traditional garment, typically white, worn by men in South Asia.
It's a long piece of unstitched fabric wrapped around the waist and legs.
In Maharashtra, it's a key part of the traditional male attire.
It can be worn in different styles, such as the "koncha" style in West Bengal.
While traditionally worn more frequently, it's now more common during festivals and special events.
Pheta:
A pheta is a type of turban or pagri worn on the head, particularly in Maharashtra.
It's a significant part of the traditional male attire in the region.
Different varieties exist, including the Kolhapuri pheta (with Bandhani effect and various colors) and the Puneri pheta (with checkered patterns and gold border).
The pheta was a mandatory part of clothing in the past and is still worn during ceremonies and festivals.
The pheta is also known as a safa in some regions
