When worn by itself, the taqiyah can be any color. However, particularly in Arab countries, when worn under the keffiyeh headscarf, they are kept in a traditional white. Some Muslims wrap a turban around the cap, called an ʿimamah in Arabic, which is often done by Shia and Sunni Muslims. In the United States and Britain, taqiyas are usually referred to as "kufis". [3] "Topi" is a type of taqiyah cap that is worn in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and other regions of South Asia. Many different types of topi caps include the Sindhi cap, worn in Sindh and the crochet topi that is often worn at Muslim prayer services. The topi cap is often worn with shalwar kameez, which is the national costume of Pakistan. Up until the 2000s, Turkey banned the keffiyeh because it was considered a symbol of solidarity with the PKK. [33] Westerners in keffiyeh [ edit ] T.E.

In ancient times, Turkmens believed that tahýa protects the owner from the evil eye, evil, trouble, etc. Also, according to the customs, it was believed that it was impossible to transfer an old tahýa to another person or throw it away. In everyday life, tahýa was intended to protect the head from the sun. Tahýa shapes can be oval, round, high and low. They are sewn from different fabrics such as velvet, silk, satin and chintz. If the tahýas of the girls were decorated with different colorful patterns, then the men's tahýa was restrained and simple in patterns. Men put the tahýa on their shaved heads. The girls wore soft tahya decorated with multi-colored patterns.
