Rajasthan Tour-Rajasthan's Pride-Turban.

Turbans are the pride of Rajasthan.It is the symbol of Pride,Loyalty,Respect and Status.Rajasthan is incomplete without Turbans.I went to Pushkar Fair in last week which is world's biggest cattle fair and there i got the opportunity to capture some beautiful turbans of Rajasthan.


















This is Real Rajasthan.

    why do they use turbans to represent "pride, Respect and Loyalty"?

    Is there a particular way that it is wore that shows differently?

    Great collection of turbans.
    And with amazing colours.
    Can you pick any colour or does each one have a special meaning?

    You have taken beautiful shots of different types of turbans which are unique and colourful. Without a turban, the people of Rajasthan are incomplete. It is their pride. I always think how heavy it is to wear on their head but they are habituated and it is their custom and tradition to wear turban.

    Oh no!!! You didn't include my favorite, that Rajasthani HOT PINK :)) I loved those; always in Jaipur when I lived there, so many men would be wearing them. Actually most particularly outside of Jaipur, on the Agra road....riding their bullock carts or camel carts, their bright pink turban proudly wrapped around their heads. Loved it....

    When you say cattle fair, I think of cows but all I saw in the back ground were camels. How much material is in a turban and I noticed none were wrapped the same. Also, several of the men were wearing ear rings. How long has this been custom as the men in US are just in the past few years started wearing them. The collection of turbans were very colorful.

    I also loved your previous post about the market. I would love to be 'let loose' there, among all the sumptous fabrics and beautiful jewellery.

    The post of his turban, is a wonder to see the custom of other people. The color is wonderful and it must have a sense of protection very large due to SOL. Wonder photos. Congratulations!
