Why do the men wear turbans in Rajasthan?
There are climatic and social reasons for this factor. Rajasthan remains hot during the days especially from May to September. People working out during the day under the sun wear turbans to protect themselves from heatstrokes. The people consider turban as a symbol of prestige and pride. Anything which is kept over the head holds in itself a lot of sanctity. The colour, size and style of a person s turban convey a lot about his social ranking.
