Turbans are a symbol of regal and royal blood. They also showcase bravery, and, in a sense, suavity no other accessory can. However, what is pitiable is that the very art of turban tying seems to be getting lost amid the emerging phenomenon of ready to wear. Let us explore this loss in greater detail here.
The turban is symbolic for different things across religions, cultures and social setups. While in some it denotes poverty and the lower classes, in others it is mandatory for the rich and affluent to wear it.
Traditionally, wearing the cloth on the head is considered ceremonious by itself. Carried out amid dancing, music and colorful display of colors, it forms part of a huge celebration or a wedding. The more prestigious the occasion, the brighter are the colors and the more dazzling are the pieces.
Nevertheless, there are also cultures wherein wearing this item on the head is also a mark of the working man. To be worn daily, it symbolizes the boundaries within which a man exists, the social, cultural and domestic ones especially. Not wearing one is unheard of, and probably done in times of loss or death.
Women too wear turbans. There exist certain cultures where the females dominate the society and the head piece signifies the working lady. It may also, in some cases, symbolize the position of the woman amid her household or her society. Moving out of the house without the cloth could even signify something shameful.
Tying one of these suave pieces of clothing, if not learnt early by those who must wear them daily, could result in difficult situations. These could range of loss of face in public to harsh chastisement at home. While for the rich and affluent, there are servants who tie the cloth, the lesser fortunate must learn to do so themselves.
Many of the latter also go ahead and make a career of this art. Playing by the cards that it is a dying one, there are opportunities galore for such people. They venture into cities that are influenced by this tradition but lack the skill sets required to follow it to the very last detail.
These events could be gatherings for an event, or a traditional wedding. Either way, for the men, often, a band of professionals is hired to tie these beautiful pieces. Many rural folk who realize the value of this move to bigger cities with their knowledge and dreams of carrying forward a tradition.
As they do so, they do, unknowingly, make sure this tradition or art does not completely perish from the face of the earth. Turban tying, after all, needs to spread more among the communities and be recognized for the true worth it has.
