PM Modi Sports a Saffron Turban on India’s 72nd Independence Day
PM wore an off-white and yellow-red turban in 2017, while he wore an orange-pink-yellow coloured safa in 2016.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi continued his tradition of wearing turbans at the Independence Day celebrations and sported a saffron turban during his address at the Red Fort on Wednesday, 15 August.
Modi had worn a dark orange and green coloured Jodhpuri bandhej safa for his maiden Independence day speech as Prime Minister in 2014.
He continued the tradition by wearing a turban with red and green stripes with a long safa in 2015 while he wore a orange-pink-yellow coloured Rajasthani safa in 2016.
Last year, the Prime Minister had chosen an off-white and yellow-red turban with a long trail.
The country celebrated its 72nd Independence Day on Wednesday where Modi addressed the people of India for the last time as prime minister before 2019 general elections.
