The Classic One: Punjabi Pagg
The turban style of a Punjabi groom is bold, structured and full of personality. It has crisp folds and a symmetrical drape, exuding confidence and pride from every angle. Traditionally worn by Sikh grooms, this style of turban mostly features a rich selection of fabrics like silk or cotton in vibrant colours. Choose a more unconventional shade that matches, or creates a contrast, to your sherwani for an urban twist.

Glamour Quotient for the Turban
Turban in itself is a fantastic accessory to the groom’s attire. But what about accessorising the accessory? With the right pieces of jewels, a simple turban can turn into a stylish piece of headgear that your wedding guests will rave about.
Sarpech & kalgi
Sarpech is the traditional ornament to sit on a turban. A significant part of turban styles, the word ‘Sarpech’ literally means “that which is screwed onto the front (of the turban).” Kalgi is another crown jewel that decorates the turban with a touch of royalty. Go bold and stylish with a signature piece of sarpech or kalgi. You can also opt for one with longer chains to amp up the turban.
Feathers
Feathers are another regal add-on for a turban. A high feather adds some extra height to the groom, helping the dashing man stand out in the crowd on his special day. Ostrich or peacock feathers are perfect choices.
Chains and Strings
Modern grooms don’t shy away from jewellery. Add gold chains decorated with stones and feathers, or go for strands of pearls to curtain the turban in a luxurious and aesthetically pleasant manner. Take inspiration from Falguni Shane Peacock’s Rang Mahal collection, where the designer duo draped their models’ faces in elegant jewel strands.
