Pagaris

In Rajasthan, India, colorful turbans, known as “pagaris” or “safas,” date back centuries and signify social status, region, and occupation. Different colors and styles denote caste, community, and village. Functionally, turbans protect against the desert sun and dust, prevent heatstroke, and can serve as ropes or pillows in emergencies. Worn with pride during festivals, weddings, and traditional events, they symbolize honor and respect. The skill of tying turbans is a cherished tradition passed down through generations, preserving Rajasthan’s rich cultural heritage.
