You may call it a pagri, pagg or dastar but for a Sikh, his turban is his identity.
It is symbolic of the Sikh faith and for those who wear it, the pagg isn’t just a cloth that covers their head but also their pride, a badge of honor that they carry, every time they step out of their house.
This also means that the pagg has come to be styled in different ways, given the fact that it also reflects the personality of the person wearing it.
From vibrant colours to different ways of tying it, the turban has, over time, attained a fashion status of its own.
