Jats and Rajputs from the Indian state of Rajasthan wear distinctive
turbans. Rajputs traditionally wear colored turbans whereas Jats wear white
turbans. The Marwaris wear light colored turbans. Many styles of turbans are
found in Rajasthan; it is said that the style of the turban changes with every
15 km you travel. In some areas, especially in Rajasthan the turban’s size may
indicate the position of the person in society. ‘Royalty’ in different parts of
India have distinctly different styles of turbans, as do the ‘peasants’, who
often just wear a small piece of cloth wound around the head.
