This turban, referred to as "pagri," is a style used in Indian weddings,

Turbans are headwear made of cloth. The form of turban signifies the social, religious and economical status of a user in the society. A variety of materials have been used for most ornamental and intricately decorated turbans, including muslin, cotton, wool and silk. Later jewels were also added to decorate the turban. In Rajasthan, too, turbans from each region are representative of the cultural identity of that area. Depending on the community, culture and regional heritage of the groom’s family, the shape, size and style of his turban differs.

The groom's pagri often matches his wedding outfit and that of his bride.
