Sun Jan 26 08:24:57 UTC 2025: ## Modi’s Multi-Coloured Turban Steals the Show at India’s 76th Republic Day
**New Delhi, India** – Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated India’s 76th Republic Day with a vibrant display of national pride, donning a striking multi-coloured turban at the Kartavya Path celebrations. The Prime Minister’s sartorial choice, a signature element of his Republic Day appearances, featured shades of red and yellow, complemented by a brown bandhgala coat, churidar pants, and a multi-coloured pocket square.
Before joining President Droupadi Murmu, Indonesian President H.E. Prabowo Subianto, and other dignitaries for the main ceremony, PM Modi paid his respects to fallen soldiers with a two-minute silence.
This year’s multi-coloured turban follows a tradition of PM Modi showcasing India’s diverse cultural heritage through his Republic Day attire. Previous years have seen him wear turbans reflecting various regional styles and traditions, from Rajasthani Bandhini prints to a Uttarakhand cap adorned with a Brahmakamal brooch.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi extended his Republic Day wishes to the nation, highlighting the importance of upholding democratic ideals and striving for a stronger India. His choice of attire, particularly his eye-catching turban, is widely interpreted as a symbol of patriotism and national unity.
