- Angavastram or Thundu is traditionally a white piece of cloth or stole, worn by men from the Hindu community, which is draped over the shoulders. It is a long rectangular cloth meant to cover the torso.
- This piece of clothing is also worn by Hare Krishna devotees and at times by Mangalorean and Bengali grooms as well as the maternal uncle of the bride in states like Karnataka.
- This cloth, draped over one shoulder, serves as a napkin or handkerchief of sorts so that devotees can clean their hands on this garment and then discard them to one side immediately, before beginning their rituals and prayers.
-
An angavastram can have a single strip or two stripes of color or even gold zari along the border. Apart from this, no motif or pattern is allowed to be depicted on this garment as it is seen as a mode of defiance towards religion.
