PagRi in different areas

muqawwee123 · February 3, 2015, 1:38pm

So again something new I learnt from the novel ‘What the body remembers’.

Now this time its about different styles of pagRi (turbans). So this Sikh girl from Pothohar region laughed at a laborer for his style of wearing pagRi and told her sister that he might be from plains as he use little cloth for pagRi (around his head) and left most of the cloth hanging.

I googled and came up with this article:

Four Sikhs talk about the different styles of Pagris : Simply Punjabi - India Today

Any observations, experiences of different pagRis in different parts?

Like can you differentiate pagRi from Punjab, Balochistan, KPK and Sindh?

Re: PagRi in different areas

Is it just color / pattern or the way they tie turban, by which you can identify their origin?
