Adhotar

Adhotar was a coarse variety handloom cloth with a loosely woven structure. Adhotar was a cloth of locals in the early 19th century. It was one among various other Indian handloom fabrics such as khaddar, garha, dres, and Khasa.[1][2][3][4]

The cloth was also meant for printing to produce coarser chintz called dogha or galef.[5]
