How do I tie a dhoti?

The dhoti is tied around the waist in the middle of its length. The whole process needs to be performed standing up. It is a complex operation, and some steps for a simple tying up of dhoti are elucidated below-

a. Take the dhoti in the middle of its length. Wrap the dhoti around the waist in the middle of its length such that each of your hand holds one side of the dhoti. You can let rest of the cloth fall to the ground and need to catch only the upper end of piece of cloth near you.

b. At this stage, your backside (hips) are covered by the dhoti. The two sides of the cloth are in your front . Make a knot using the upper end of both sides of cloth near your stomach. You will need to make two knots to ensure that knot does not get untied. At this stage both of your hands should be free, the middle portion of the dhoti should be wrapped around your legs, and upper end of both sides should be tied together in two knots on your stomach. The remaining portion of each side is free and should be falling on the ground.

c. Take the extreme end of "right side end" in your hand. Bring this end between your legs and tuck it into your waist at the back.

d. Take the extreme end of the "left side end" in your hand. Bring this end between your legs and tuck it into your waist at the back.
