TURBANS
Simple headgear!No much more than just that!
 A symbol of respect,mark of dignity and all that.

Blue ,green,black and red both untidy and neat.
Big and small, of all shapes you can meet.

Pristine white,passionate red for all occasions prescibed,
be it marriage,mournful funerals or simple parties.

With pride it is worn,a soldiers emblem of valor,
pointing to responsibility borne,and saffron the inspiring sacrificial color.

Be it a bloody battlefield,or the peace of a monastry,
the turban is there ubiquitous as the rosary.

Representing pompous royalty,loving fidelity and sombre gravity.
The grandiose emperor of all symbols to say it with brevity.
