How to wear a Pancha Kachcham?

[Kanchi Periva]

Dear Members,

We are glad to present to you "A practical guide to wearing a Panchakachcham" - shared by Sri Sarma Sastrigal, author of the book “The Great Hindu Tradition” – he has shared this specially for the benefit of members of our Forum, along with his blessings.

Please also support the great works of Sri Sarma Sastrigal by buying his book on “The Great Hindu Tradition” - available in both English & Tamil. Details of the same are available here

Some details about the tamil version of the book "Vedamum Panpaadum" is available here and here.

PS: There would be some obvious differences in sishtaacharam and the style of wear in some situations. For instance, Smaarthaas would wear the veshti covering the Naabhi (and not as seen in the attachment). Those finer details would have to be carried on in the same manner currently in use within the family. This presentation is only meant to be a high level guide for those who don't know how to proceed with the idea of wearing a pancha-kachcham.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to Sri Sarma Sastrigal for providing this practical guide.
