The Kokyet, a turban from Manipur, has been chosen as part of the dress code for the Marshals of the Indian parliament. The Indian government is introducing new uniform codes for both houses of the parliament, including Nehru jackets and camouflage for different staff members. The decision has been welcomed by Manipuri culture experts, who see it as a recognition of the state s rich culture. However, there are concerns about which specific type of turban has been chosen and whether it will respect the cultural traditions of Manipur.
