Indian dress culture, what do men's skirts and hats mean?

In India, sari is dominant in women's wear (Muslim women will change slightly). For women, the change of clothing is not as great as that of decoration, while there is no uniform style for men's clothing.

In particular, the men's hat wrapping method in India is really colorful and spectacular. Indians are so tenacious and confident about their long-standing traditions and aesthetic habits in clothing and proudly show them to the outside world.

In fact, Indian men's hats and skirts are simple pieces of cloth, but they can be magically wrapped around their heads and waists and developed into various styles. Indian man's headscarf is several meters long, and his religion and region can be seen from the different wrapping methods of headscarf. For example, the headscarves of Hindus and Sikhs are obviously different.

Hindu headscarves are elastic. If you don't want to wrap them, you can take them off at any time. It is compulsory for Sikhs to tie their heads, which means that the chances of seeing Sikhs not wearing their heads are basically the same as the chances of winning the lottery.
