The unbifurcated garment the man was wearing is referred to in South India as the lungi or dhoti. This is a kilt board, and Hank has specified that the discussions of other MUGs be kept to a minimum, but I'll chime in on this one...Below is a picture of my extended family in India at my Grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary. You'll notice all the men wearing such a garment
And now, back to your regular kilt-related programming...

I've always had a soft spot for Kerala, a lovely people with a lovely language. When i was in Tamil Nadu I heard of the trouble they have had from hindus.

Graham,
Did you spend much time in Tamil Nadu? As an anthropology student in college, one of my mentors did almost all of his fieldwork in Tamil and I learned more than I ever thought I wanted to know about Southern India. I've always wanted to visit.

Not long, I've been twice for short stays of just a few weeks.
The last time was a missionary venture, we stayed in a small village called Ammambukkam.
One night two of the women began singing in the language of Kerala (Malayalam), I've never heard anything so beautiful.
