For a long time, kids in Nepal have been wearing bhoto. It not only shows the cultural significance but bhoto has many other qualities as well. Traditionally bhotos are made from soft materials such as cotton and muslin. These fibers are very gentle and soft on the baby’s skin and wearing clothes with synthetic materials and fibers can irritate their sensitive skin. So bhotos are a perfect choice for babies. These days there are many places and shops that sell these traditional bhotos in different modern designs. We have listed a few of them with their information below:
