Also known as pagri, it is a traditional turban worn by Rajasthani men. It is made using the resist-dyeing techniques of bandhani, which creates dots on bright-coloured fabric, or leheriya, which produces wavy, multi-hued patterns on the fabric. The colours and styles of the turban vary according to season, community and occasion.
