DHAKA TOPI 鈥� Nepali Tradition
(Hat/Cap) is an iconic part of Nepali culture and tradition which is worn as a part of Nepali National Dress. It is made of cotton and has a circular shape with a slight dome. It is worn by all Nepalese men, especially, during festivals and special occasions to represent national pride and loyalty. It is also taken as a symbol of respect and politeness towards others and is also believed to be a sign of honor and good manners.
Talking about the history of Dhaka Topi in Nepal, this fine piece of 鈥楧haka cloth鈥� was exclusively imported from Dhaka during 1950鈥檚 鈥� Capital of Bagladesh. Dhaka topi is still made with a combination of cotton and silk or wool threads to create a beautiful and durable design. The material used to make these traditional hats varies depending on the occasion, but is usually chosen based on the wearer鈥檚 preference.
If you ever visit Nepal to try Dhaka Topi or you receive one as a gift, here鈥檚 a quick guide to wear Dhaka Topi properly.
- First, hold the Topi with both hands to find the front and back on the cap.
- Place the front of the cap on your forehead and let the back of the cap hang down.
- Adjust the Cap so that it fits tighly around your head. The Topi should fit comfortably securely without slipping off.
