By Sue Carpenter


A blue turban is a significant part of what an Indian man wears. However, it is rarely a fashion statement. Turbans have great importance, with regard to traditions, culture, and religion in the society. The headdresses are usually made from special pieces of cloth that are woven in such a way that no stitching is required. The five-meter hair turbans are some of the most popular among men.

Each time an Indian man wears this headdress, he usually ties it repeatedly, after unfolding its wrapping. Impressive traditions, music, and culture are largely responsible for the fame of Rajasthan, a state in the northwestern part of India and the 'Land of Desert'. The most important part of the culture in this state is the turbans, which have been in existence for many years.

Even though these turbans are available in a wide variety of colors and designs, they are mostly made of cotton material. This is because cotton is affordable and comfortable to wear. On the other hand, these headdresses can be worn in different styles. The most popular is style with the Indian men is one that creates a crested top and a tail at the back.
