New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi became a “head turner” by sporting a colourful safa (headgear) at Red Fort on the occasion of Independence Day on Sunday.

The PM wore a Kolhapuri Pheta style turban with a long trail that extended till his ankle as he addressed the nation on India’s 75th Independence Day.

He paired the turban with a pastel powder blue half-sleeve kurta, which is now widely popular as Modi kurta, and a stole.

Those who watch the PM’s sartorial styles said it’s a tradition with Modi to wear dashing and colourful headgears while attending Republic Day and Independence Day celebrations.

Here’s a look at the different turbans the PM wore at successive I-Day addresses to the nation from the Red Fort.
