Besides, the Prime Minister today also wore a traditional cap from Uttarakhand instead of his traditional turban.

The Prime Minister’s cap is embossed with the Brahma kamal flower.

The Brahma kamal is Uttarakhand’s state flower, and Prime Minister Modi uses it whenever he performs pooja at Kedarnath.

It may be mentioned that earlier on many occasions, the Prime Minister was spotted wearing dresses or accessories from different Indian states.

Last year while taking the Covid-19 vaccination shot, the Prime Minister was seen wearing Assamese ‘Gamosa‘ from the Northeastern state Assam.
