76th Republic Day: Prime Minister Modi wore a multi-colored 'Bandhani' print turban on the occasion of 75th Republic Day. Earlier in 2023, Modi wore a multi-colored Rajasthani turban with a kurta and churidar pajama. This year on the 77th Independence Day, he chose a multi-colored Rajasthani style turban, whose end (Chhela) was long till below the waist.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared in a special style on Sunday, the 76th Republic Day. He wore a dark brown closed-neck coat and a red-yellow colored turban with a white kurta-pajama. With this, he continued his tradition of wearing bright and colorful turban on special occasions. Earlier, Prime Minister Modi wore a multi-colored 'Bandhani' print turban on the occasion of the 75th Republic Day.
Bandhani is a type of tie-dye fabric, popular in Gujarat and Rajasthan. It is a method in which the fabric is dyed by tying and knotting. Georgette, chiffon, silk, and cotton fabric are tied tightly with a thread before putting it in the dye pool and when this thread is opened, the tied part becomes colored. Then the design is made by hand using thread on the cloth.
Earlier in 2023, Modi wore a multi-colored Rajasthani safa with a kurta and churidar pajama. On the 77th Independence Day this year, he chose a multi-colored Rajasthani style safa, whose end (chhela) was long till below the waist. In 2019, after returning to power for a second term with a thumping majority, Modi wore a multi-colored safa while delivering his sixth Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort. Rajasthani safa or turban has been the Prime Minister's choice for Independence Day and Republic Day.
