The turban has long been an integral part of the costumes of Rajasthan
but is, inevitably, under pressure from modern life and style and is slowly
going out of fashion. The Turban Gallery in the Mehrangarh Museum seeks
to preserve, document and display the many, many different types of turbans
once prevalent in Rajasthan ; every community, region and, indeed, festival
has it's own head-gear and this diversity, the colors of the desert, is
wonderfully brought out in this welcome addition to the museum.
