What is Gamchha

A Gamchha, a small traditional cloth, is used as a towel in Bangladesh, and India, and symbolizes its owner’s cultural links. It first appears in the novel when Fokir uses it to dry Tutul. It seems familiar to Piya but she cannot recall from where. Later in the chapter, she remembers that one had hung from her father’s wardrobe in Seattle and, despite it being old and shabby, and he being an unsentimental man, he would not part with it.
