Ramraj Cotton is best known for its white cotton dhoti, a garment central to formal and ceremonial dress in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana. Over time the brand has extended its range to include shirts, kurtas, sarees, children's wear and innerwear, while continuing to position the dhoti as its signature product.
The company runs a chain of branded showrooms in towns and cities across South India, supported by a wholesale and dealer network and an online retail presence. Its product line emphasises cotton fabrics, including handloom varieties, and traditional South Indian styles such as the mundu with coloured borders.
Ramraj Cotton is among the more visible organised retailers focused on traditional Indian men's wear, a segment historically dominated by small tailors and weaver cooperatives. By branding and standardising garments such as the dhoti and veshti, the chain has played a role in retaining the everyday and ceremonial use of these garments alongside Western-style clothing in southern India.
