Omani caps selling briskly during Ramazan in Varanasi

VARANASI - Sales of Omani caps, also known as Humayun caps, are on a rise during the holy month of Ramazan in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi city.

“The biggest point is, the cap is from Oman and every customer prefers it. It is as per the latest fashion and design,” said Iftekhan, a customer.

These caps, in vibrant colours and latest designs, are made of cotton, and are usually hand-stitched. It can take several weeks to finish a cap because of the intricate embroidery called Tanjim.

“All kinds of caps are being sold but, nowadays, the demand for the Humayun cap is the most. The youths prefer Humayun cap and not only the youths; people from all generations prefer it. It is preferred because they are as per the latest designs so people buy these caps to match colour with their kurta,” said Bashir Ahmad, a shopkeeper. By Girish Chandra Dubey (ANI)
