The country is all set to begin its Sankranti and Pongal celebrations in a couple of days and shopping has been hectic these few days. Shoppers all over the country are busy picking out traditional Indian Clothing for the whole family. The harvest festival of Pongal is a traditional celebration that involves few age old rituals that were practiced even centuries back as a part of the celebration. In order to further retain the vintage charm of this festival, people prefer to wear traditional Indian Clothing when it comes to Pongal.
While women go for resplendent Silk Sarees and ethnic Half Sarees or Pavada Davanis, men opt for traditional Indian Dhothis. Dhoti, which was once worn by Indian men in their everyday lives, has now become an attire that's saved for special occasions such as these traditional festivals and marriage ceremonies. Festivals such as Pongal offer a rare chance to get a taste of the old ways and customs by dressing up in traditional and ethnic clothes and following the old customs. During Pongal, men are spotted in classy Silk Dhotis featuring a thin strip of golden zari. Such Dhotis are truly simple and exude a sense of understated class.
