    Khadi clothes

    Posted by glaconman 21 February 2008

    If you're travelling in India it's a good idea to wear khadi. This is the name for hand-spun and hand-woven cotton. It was a symbol of Gandhi's independence movement. But more importantly for the visitor it's the most comfortable thing you can wear in this country when the temperature rises.

    Ready-made khadi shirts and trousers (kurta/pyjama) can be purchased at branches of KVIC/Khadi Bhavan (found in most cities).

    Or better still, take the time to buy a length of cloth and get your clothes tailored. Anybody you ask will be able to recommend a good tailor.

    It's a fun thing for the family to do and will keep everybody cool, comfortable and happy in the heat.

    Wear tailored khadi in India and you'll all feel much more at home.
