In traditional Afghan society, Turbans are considered sign of manhood and completion, its usually worn by students who graduate their schools or when a man gets married or at other special occasions. Turbans also serve practical purposes such as for wrapping oneself against the cold, to sit on, to tie up an animal or to carry water in the cap.
