In Pics: PM Modi's Turbans On Independence Day Over The Years

For the 76th anniversary of India's Independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose a multi-coloured Rajasthani-style turban with a long trail as his headgear. He opted for an off-white kurta, white pants, and a jacket with a pocket square. 

PM Modi has often been seen in traditional headgear of different states of the country for his address to the nation.

The Prime Minister is known for his tradition of donning colourful turbans for his Independence Day and Republic Day looks since 2014. Last year, he chose a white safa with tricolour strips and a long trail as his headgear. He was clad in a white kurta-pyjama and a navy blue waistcoat, with the turban clearly standing out.
