Modi opts for orange-yellow coloured turban for I-Day celebrations

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday continued his 'turban tradition' as he opted for a predominate mix of orange and yellow coloured headgear for celebrations of the country's Independence Day.

Modi sported an orange-colour headgear, with a dash of yellow shade along with a long trail extended till his ankle as he visited the ramparts of historic Red Fort. He finished off the look with his trademark light cream coloured half-sleeve taut churidar.

However, keeping in view of the current situation created by COVID-19, he added a scarf, like a mask in white having orange borders.

Every year, the PM adds a dash of colour with a unique turban for Independence Day and Republic Day celebrations.

Modi continued his trend of wearing turbans on the occasion, which gives us a reason to have a look at his previous outings with the headgear.
