I've noticed that Hindus wear turbans of different colors. For instance, the former Prime Minister of India always was photographed wearing a blue turban. I wondered if there was some significance to the colors. One day I saw a Hindu at a rest stop and decided to ask him. He replied that the color had no significance; that he had turbans of several colors at home. So my curiosity was satisfied.

In India, the color of the turban would be just like picking out what color shirt you want to wear -- generally :)

But the STYLE of the turban would depend on the region
