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)

The merge request may be dropped, considering the opinions expressed on Mundu and Dhoti discussions. 20:54, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Men have traditionally worn mundum-neriyathum and it is rather different to what women wear.--Grammatical error 15:15, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This is wrong

I've never heard anyone say "veshti" (in the Dhoti article, it seems to be a Tamil name for the mundu). The cloth that covers part of the upper body is a neriyathu (men and women just wear it in different ways).--172.216.103.58 17:50, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
