An Iyer Dhoti (often referred to as an Iyer Panchakacham) is a traditional, unstitched lower garment worn by Hindu men, particularly from the Tamil Brahmin community.
It is distinguished by its intricate, multi-pleated drape (called Panchakacham, meaning "five knots") and is typically crafted from pure silk or high-quality handloom cotton.
