PM Modi Drapes Maroon Bandhani Turban for 80th Independence Day

Every year on India's Independence Day, the Prime Minister gives a speech.

People also love to see what he wears, especially his special turban.

In 2026, Prime Minister Modi wore a maroon turban with tiny white, yellow and green dots.

This special style is called Bandhani, a traditional way of tie-dyeing cloth.

Bandhani is a craft from the Indian states of Rajasthan and Gujarat.

He matched the turban with a brown Nehru jacket and a white kurta.

He also wore a small accessory with India's flag colours.

This tradition started with his first Independence Day address in 2014.

Over the years, his turbans have used many colours, patterns and dyeing styles.

His clothes help celebrate India's traditional craftsmanship.
