Wrap, learn and wear a piece of Rajasthan.
The Rajasthani turban, or safa, is much more than a colourful piece of clothing. Its styles, colours and ways of tying have long been connected with Rajasthan’s different regions, communities and celebrations. The tradition of turban tying is recognised as an important part of Rajasthan’s intangible cultural heritage.
In this fun and interactive workshop, participants are introduced to the tradition of the Rajasthani turban and have the opportunity to learn how to wrap and tie one themselves, guided by members of the Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band.
