...A "pugaree" is a cloth band or scarf worn around a helmet or slouch hat. However, it can also be worn round a kulla to form a turbansee attachments
this is most interesting!
thanks for the very good pictures....i'm most surprised at the first picture...it looks like this 'pugaree' is a removable band and good for putting in feathers/leaves or even photos of girl friends/wives all-around!!

(i've always thought its sewn on..only leaving a few gaps....my grandfather used to wear one of those sun hats whenever he went around...i was too young to check if it was removable but it look so fitting that i have always assumed them to be just a decoration rather than for any purpose.)

and i couldnt find the term "kulla" is it indian for some 'skin cap'? (turbans are wound around their hair)
