It is often worn by men in rural or traditional settings, particularly in northern and central India. The garment is usually made of cotton or wool and may have side slits for ease of movement. It is distinct from a 'kurta' in its length and cut, often resembling a long shirt or a short coat without a collar or with a simple collar.
