**Different Styles of Dhoti**
**Plain Dhoti**
The red dhoti, also known as sowlay, is often used by reverends in temples. Some priests believe that these unstitched clothes are less vulnerable to pollution, making them more ideal for spiritual rights. This adds a sober yet colorful highlight to the religious ceremony.

**White or Yellow Style Dhoti for Wedding**
The dhoti has gold embroidery taped around the edges of the fabric to give it a little more colour. It is not necessary for the groom and the bride to wear the same pattern of fabric or the same color for their wedding.
