Pagadi

A Pagadi (also spelled Pagri or Paghadi) is a traditional headwear worn by men, particularly in India, Pakistan, and parts of South Asia. It holds cultural and regional significance, with various styles and customs associated with its wearing. The Pagadi is most commonly worn during ceremonial or ritualistic occasions such as weddings, religious functions, or important social gatherings.

• While the Pagadi continues to be worn for traditional and ceremonial occasions, it is not as commonly worn as daily attire in urban areas. However, it remains a powerful symbol of heritage and culture in many parts of rural India.
• Politicians and leaders may wear it as a sign of leadership, and in some regions, it is used during formal public appearances.
