Kaupinam
Kaupinam (Devanagari:कौपिनम), kaupina (Devanagari: कौपिन) or langot (Devanagari: लंगोट) is an undergarment worn by Indian men as a loincloth or underclothing. It is made up of rectangular strip of cotton cloth which is used to cover the genitals with the help of the strings connected to the four ends of the cloth for binding it around the waist of the wearer. It is used by wrestlers in the game of Kushti or traditional Indian Wrestling in the Akharada(Wrestling Ring) and also during practice sessions and training.
==Use==
It is still used extensively by wrestlers (''pehelwans'') in India participating in the traditional game of ''kushti'' (which is a form of traditional wrestling). It is worn by wrestlers during wrestling matches, practice, training and every time during exercises(''kasrat''). The kaupinam in India is the traditional male sports gear associated with almost every form of physically straining sports like kushti and ''kabaddi''. It has been worn by sportsmen and bodybuilders in India during training and exercise sessions (similar to the contemporary use of gym shorts) since ancient times and is still used in traditional sports. ''Langot'' was earlier worn (and is still worn sometimes) in India by men performing any form of physically straining activity. The wrestlers often wear a g-string-shaped guard underneath to protect their genitals from rupture. The kaupinam is a very ancient form of sportswear and was in use since the early Vedic Period(2000–1500 BC) in India as is evident from a verse in the Sam Veda, the Hindu sacred scriptures, written at that time, encouraging the use of kaupinam during sexual intercourse. The devotees of Lord Shiva were said to be wearing kaupinam.
