Step-by-Step Guide
Prepare the Turban
Start with a 6-7 meter long turban cloth. Iron it for a crisp look.
Tip: A starched turban holds its shape better!
Create the Base
Wrap the patka (under-turban) around your head to create a base.
Tip: Make sure the base is tight but comfortable.
Begin Wrapping
Start from the right side and wrap the turban around your head.
Tip: Keep the layers even and slightly overlapping.
Create the Peak
Pull the fabric up at the front to create the distinctive Patiala peak.
Tip: The peak should be centered above your forehead.
Continue Layers
Keep wrapping while maintaining the shape and covering the ears.
Tip: Each layer should be slightly lower than the previous.
Final Touches
Tuck the end of the turban neatly and adjust the shape.
Tip: Use a small pin if needed to secure the end.
