The amazing fact is that baba's left leg is not stuck to the 'Aasan' he's sitting on, so the dhoti can be actually passed through the leg, as is required & so baba can actually wear a Dhoti.

The story behind this is that once baba appeared in the dream of the then(sometime in the past) priest and asked him "Won't you make me a dhoti?". From then Onwards Baba is Made to Wear the Complete Dhoti Traditional Style.
