Celebrating Kerala-Piravi (state formation day of God's Own Country) in spirit, if not letter.

This western tourist landed in Kerala on Kerala Piravi (1-Nov) and found almost all men wearing new mundu/veshtis to mark the occasion. He goes and promptly gets one for himself. Given the way it is securely tied around his waist, he seems to have done a good job. Impressive, given that many Indians have trouble keeping it in place.


BTW, by tying it over the shirt, he not only ensures some traction for the garb to stay in place, but seems to have put in place a new trend/fashion. Am impressed.
