Peshawari turban
Peshawari turban, also Peshawari patke or Peshawari lungee, is the traditional Pashtun-style turban worn in Peshawar and its surrounding regions. It is traditionally worn by the Muslims, but has also been used by the Hindu community.
It is a two-piece headgear. One piece is a dome-shaped hard cap or kulla, generally embroidered with golden thread. The other is called lungi which consists of a long and narrow piece of cotton cloth. It has a fan-shaped turra and a tail termed shamla.
Subhas Chandra Bose had used a Peshawari turban to disguise himself as a Pashtun in 1941 to flee from the British territory.
During the British rule a similar turban was part of the dress for some government peons.Gandhara turban gallery from major museums (1st-3rd century CE)
