I wear something like these when I wear saris at functions I go to from my work. Since the saris are in Tibetan style (high necked tunics in place of cholies) the turban is the perfect wrap.
They are lovely!

Sallam,
The top two pics are my favorite. I would totally sport such cute and extravagant styles. The top right photo intrigues me. Is it fabric with beading over it, or beaded fabric?
Thanks,
Peace~Sallam,

Salaam alaikum Inal, that sounds fascinating. You couldn’t share a link to a photo, could you? I’ve never heard of Tibetan saris.

hana here is something close- used in Burma at one point in time -

And this one

You wear a tunic- or kurta but those that are high round neck or “chinese” style neck – and you wear the sari Gujarati style…meaning the pallu is swung from the back as a folded ban than comes over your shoulder and secured with a pin.
I got the idea while watching a Hindi movie that was set at the foot hills of the Himalayas…The women there wore the tibetan tunics with the saris- an aha moment!
But I can’t find anything recent- the movie by the way was called “15 Park Street” about a woman gone insane and both her external and internal world…
I again saw them in “Exotica” a weekly hindi show that showcases the various turistic places around India- and there again in the areas of the north I saw this same style…in silk jewel tone tunics- awesome!
I would like to give you a modern me look- but I can’t post my own pics – sorry

Wa Alaikum Salaam my sister!
