In South Asian usage, a pagdi is a turban — a length of cloth wound around the head, traditionally associated with honor, dignity, and social identity across many Indian communities. The pagdi carries deep symbolic weight: in Rajasthan and Punjab it signifies caste, occasion, and status. Offering or receiving a pagdi is a gesture of respect. The term also appears in property law as an informal deposit or premium.
