PM's 'pagdi' signals cultural diversity

The New Indian Express Villupuram

January 27, 2025

PRIME Minister Narendra Modi chose a red and yellow striped 'pagdi' or 'safa' for his Republic-Day look on Sunday, pairing it with a brown bandhgala jacket and pocket square.

- RAJESH KUMAR THAKUR @ New Delhi

Modi's selection of 'pagadi' for both Republic Day and the Independence Day continues to stand out as a symbol of India's vibrant traditions and cultural diversity, resonating with the message of unity and pride in the nation's heritage.

Flamboyant and colourful turbans have been a regular feature in the prime minister's Independence Day and Republic Day looks. Last year, he chose a multi-coloured "bandhani" print safa for his Republic-Day look. Bandhani is a type of tie-dye textile popular in Gujarat and Rajasthan.
