A judge from the Chennai High Court came for darshan. He was wearing a dhoti around his waist formally, but did not wear an angavastram to cover the upper part of his body.
When asked why, he said, "We have a custom to welcome poor people who come to our home and feed them. One such atithi (guest) took away my sun glasses and angavastram. From that time I have stopped wearing an upper cloth or sun glasses."
Listening to his words with patience, Periyavaa asked that the judge be provided with an angavastram from the MaTham.
"Henceforth, daily wear an angavastram. ekavastram (one piece cloth) is not proper. Wearing black glasses or not may be according to your liking. You should not do satkarma (auspicious rites) with ekavastram."
The judge promised him to do as advised.

Can anyone explain to me, if we wear UG will it be counted as a vastra ? I mean to say that veshti, angavastram and UG will be treated as 2 or 3 ?
Jaya Jaya Sankara, Hara Hara Sankara !
