The Turban..or..(Pagri)

Each color , even the way it is wrapped represents something . Their cast , village or region of origin . The Hindu turban is different than the Sikh . To me all fascinating and so so colorful . Each one is a single length of cloth sometime as much as 6 meters (19 feet) long . What a cultural icon !
