What is a Dhoti Kurta set? How is it worn in different regions of India?

The Dhoti Kurta is one of India most ancient and widespread traditional men outfits — consisting of a dhoti (unstiched lower garment draped around the legs and waist) paired with a kurta (upper garment). Regional variations make it distinctive across India:

Region	Dhoti Style	Occasion
North India (UP, Bihar)	White cotton dhoti draped and tucked in front — traditional puja and ritual wear	Temple, puja, ceremonies
Gujarat	White or coloured dhoti, often with kediyu or short kurta — Navratri	Navratri garba, weddings
Maharashtra	Dhoti nauvari style — double-width cotton, pulled between legs like nauvari	Traditional ceremonies, weddings
Tamil Nadu / Karnataka	Veshti (white lungi-style dhoti) with cotton or silk shirt — very formal for South Indian events	Temples, weddings, formal events
Bengal	Dhuti (unstarched cotton) with punjabi (kurta) — intellectual and traditional wear	Durga Puja, formal cultural events

Wholesale: Pre-stitched dhoti sets (to look like dhoti without draping) are a growing wholesale category — more practical for modern buyers. ₹350–₹800 for a stitched dhoti-style set.
