As India celebrates 75th Independence Day today, PM Modi was seen partaking in the celebrations at Red Fort. For the event, he was seen in a traditional kurta and a churidar which was teamed with a blue colour jacket. Known for his unique headgears on such occasions, he opted for a saffron and cream turban which included a long tail. He further paired the jacket with a white scarf and used it as a mask to cover his face in light of the pandemic.

In the past too, the Prime Minister always made a statement with the choice of his headgears. Last year, he donned a multi-coloured turban as he was spotted giving his sixth Independence Day speech. In 2014, he was seen bright red Jodhpuri bandhej turban. The next year, he opted for a turban which had multi-coloured criss-cross lines. In 2016, he was seen in a tie and dye turban.
