Thank you for visiting, Parul. It was a busy trip because we covered plenty of local attractions throughout the city. Our Airbnb apartment was used only for bathing and sleeping at night. We were up early morning and out to explore the city. Many places then had mandatory mask rules which was good actually. Also, thank you for wishing us for our tenth anniversary. Wishing you and VT loads of joy, love, good health and prosperity.

Honored to know that we are one of your favorites, Christine. There are all sorts of turban designs that vary from region to region, this is just one of the lot. I forgot to mention that this is a Leheriya (waves) print style cloth. I believe most turbans you see in the movies are Punjabi turbans worn by members of the Sikh community. They wear it 365 days a year. This one is a Rajasthani turban, a different state. Appreciate your Valentine’s Day wishes and we wish you lots of joy, good health and prosperity.

I’ve only seen turbans in movies and they were definitely not as impressive as your dye print Jaipuri Safa. A fascinating account of how they are made. You and Sarah are among my favorites in blog land. I appreciate the hours you spend on research to bring us to places in India. Wishing you both Happy Valentines Day. ❤️🎶❤️

Well, all credit to you, Teagan. This post was not even on my mind. However, I was randomly going through many of my Jaipur images and this one (me talking to Jitendra) stuck with me. So, I thought, okay, this can be a good story for this challenge. Glad that you liked the cultural details. I mean my posts would seem incomplete without history and cultural details of whatever topic I’m writing about. We generally measure fabric in metres. Honestly, I’m not sure how many metres this fabric is, but I will contact them and get back to you on this.

I’m so pleased to be in any way associated with this amazing memoir essay. I’ve been sharing it everywhere. I’ll revise my “recap” post to include it too.
The little cultural details were fascinating to me — particularly the ones related to clothing.
The Jaipuri Safa looks more complex than another turban I have seen. The photo looks like parts of it are also tightly twisted. Out of curiosity, in my imagining of creating/tying it, how many yards of fabric would you estimate are in it? (I’m not certain whether a yard is a unit of measurement there. A yard being 36 inches or 0.9144m).
Thanks again, and hugs to you and Sarah.

The reason it is in the box is because I cannot recreate that if it is un-tucked. Also, if circumstances are right, I will wear it on the wedding ceremony of my niece. Until then, it is safe and secure. Thank you for visiting and appreciating my looks, Dan. 🙂
