Question 14 of 22intermediate🔧 ApplyShort Answer3 marks

In small groups, take a dupatta or scarf and help each other make a traditional headgear.

Correct Answer

Students working in groups can create traditional headgear using a dupatta or scarf by learning different tying techniques.

For example, a Rajasthani saafa or pagri style involves wrapping the cloth in multiple folds around the head with one end flowing.

A Himachali topi style involves folding and positioning the cloth differently.

Students should observe images of traditional headgear from different states, learn the cultural significance, and practice the wrapping techniques together.

The activity helps students appreciate how headgear represents tradition, honour, and cultural heritage in different regions of India.
