dhoti is normally worn by the females and males of south asia
[edit] Merge request
- The mundu is distinct from the lungi, both of which are worn in Kerala. The mundu is more formal than the lungi and it would be considered derogatory to call a mundu a lungi. The description of the mundu fits the dhoti more than the lungi. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.68.145.230 (talk • contribs) .
- 202.68.145.230, Thanks for clarifying that. I have changed the merge request so that that this article can be merge to Dhoti. Mundu does not need a seperate article. A sub-section on Dhoti will suffice. Please sign your talk page posts by typing ~~~~. - Ganeshk (talk) 14:16, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- Mundu need not be merged with dhoti. Similarity is only that both are rectangular pieces of cloth. It is the way how you wear dhoti that characterises it.
Mundu, Lungi and Veshti are similar and can be put in one article. Another difference is that, Women also wear Lungi (workers) and Veshti. I don't think that is the case with Dhoti.--Raghu 16:41, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- Mundu need not be merged with dhoti. The way the Mundu is worn and the way the Dhoti is worn is totally different. I would say that this article should remain as it is, and Keralites (including myself) should try to put in a picture of how the Mundu is worn by the men (we can smudge the face)-- User:Qmsarge 21:45, 31 January,2006 (IST)
Since this debate opened nearly two months ago, the only opinions expressed have been against the merger. Hence, I am removing the "merger proposal" tag. ImpuMozhi 20:46, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- I guess that means someone can remove the picture of the man wearing a veshti. It can be confusing to those who don't know what a dhoti is. --Dara 01:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
