In the words of the Kothari duo, it took them 10 days to make the traditional turban commonly known as ‘Mothda’ for the PM. They added that four people worked for 10 days to prepare the bandhej cloth made from the tie-and-dye technique. The cloth was dyed in multiple colors,  the turban then was made in a Bhopal Shahi style (one that was worn by the king of Mewar, Maharana Bhopal Singh). Post the tie-dye, the turban was decorated with 54 inches of golden lace and brilliantly bright handmade broaches to make it more royal.

Upon asking about the specially styled turban, Jayant Kothari said that ‘Mothda’ is an ancient turban once worn by the kings of Mewar. The art of preparing ‘Mothda’ was introduced by his forefathers almost a hundred years ago for the Maharanas of the region.

“We decided to prepare a turban using the ancient art as we wanted to show our gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” said the Duo.
