As India celebrates its 77th Republic Day, all eyes are once again on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s headgear. His choice of a vibrant, traditional turban is making waves online, as it has evolved into a definitive hallmark of the national ceremony.

As India celebrated its 77th Republic Day, PM Modi's look once again became a talking point, he donned a flamboyant multi-coloured turban.

Continuing his decade-long custom of showcase-worthy headgear, PM Modi was seen wearing a multi-coloured Rajasthani pagdi.

The Rajasthani-style headgear added a burst of colour and ceremonial grace, capturing the celebratory mood of the massive crowds witnessing the 77th Republic Day display.

He completed his look with a layered blue kurta-jacket set, successfully balancing regional craftsmanship with the solemnity of the Kartavya Path parade.
