Definition of phota in English:

phota

noun ˈfəʊtə
historical
  • A cotton fabric originally produced in India. Usually in plural Compare "lungi".

Origin

Early 17th century. From Persian fūta, fūṭa (apparently in an Indo-Persian form fota) rectangular piece of cloth used as napkin, towel, turban-cloth, loin-cloth, etc.; further etymology disputed.
