Putting on the robes to attend the morning service wasn’t an easy task. These aren’t simple robes you just throw on like a gown. It’s called a dhoti. There’s a whole elaborate system of pleating them and wrapping them around, pulling them between your legs, and tucking them in towards the back. The cloth is around eight to twelve feet in length and about four to five feet in height. It took me almost 15 minutes to put it on.
