The '''Puneri Pagadi''' is a distinctive style of [[turban]], which is considered as a symbol of pride and honor in the city of [[Pune]].<ref name=BS>{{cite web|title=Indian association seeks IPR for 'Puneri Pagadi'|url=http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/indian-association-seeks-ipr-for-%5Cpuneri-pagadi%5C/354259/|publisher=Business Standard|access-date=12 June 2012|date=7 April 2009}}</ref> It was introduced two centuries ago.<ref name=mid-day/> Though it is a symbol of honour, the use of the ''pagadi'' has changed over the years and now it is also used on traditional days in colleges.<ref name="theindianexpress"/> To preserve the identity of the ''pagadi'', there were demands from the locals to grant it a [[Geographical Indication]] (GI) status.<ref name="theindianexpress"/> Their demand was fulfilled and the ''pagadi'' became an [[intellectual property]] on 4 September 2009.<ref name=BS /><ref name="theindianexpress"/><ref name=ZeeNews/><ref name=oneindia/><ref name=mid-day2/>

==History==
[[File:Turban Fitters Pune India 1890.jpg|thumb|Turban fitters of Pune, 1890]]
The ''pagadi'' was introduced in the 19th century by [[Mahadev Govind Ranade]], a social reformer. Later, it was worn by many leaders like [[Lokmanya Tilak]], J.S. Karandikar, D.D. Sathye, Dr. Vitthalrao Gade, [[Narasimha Chintaman Kelkar|Tatyasaheb Kelkar]] and [[Datto Vaman Potdar]].<ref name=mid-day>{{cite web|title=Turban legend: Puneri Pagadi may soon get intellectual property tag|url=http://www.mid-day.com/news/2009/apr/060409-Pune-News-property-tag-Puneri-Pagadi-Turban-intellectual-property-rights.htm|publisher=Mid-day|date=6 April 2009|access-date=13 June 2012}}</ref> The ''pagadi'' became more popular in 1973 after the [[Marathi language|Marathi]] play, ''[[Ghashiram Kotwal]]''.<ref name="theindianexpress">{{cite web|title=The Pagadi Unravelled|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/the-pagadi-unravelled/825919/1|publisher=The Indian Express|author=Shruti Nambiar|pages=1–2|date=2 August 2011|access-date=13 June 2012}}</ref>

==Usage==
The ''pagadi'' is used mostly on special occasions like wedding ceremonies and traditional days in schools and colleges. Youngsters wear it while performing the ''gondhal'' art form. The ''pagadi'', being a symbol of honour, is also used as a [[souvenir]]. It also finds usage in [[period film]]s and [[theatre]]s.<ref name="theindianexpress"/>

==Granting of intellectual property right==
The 10-membered ''Shree Puneri Pagadi Sangh'' had applied before the [[Geographical Indication Registry (India)|Geographical Indication Registry]] to get a [[Geographical Indication]] (GI) tag for the ''pagadi''.<ref name="theindianexpress"/> Great Mission Group Consultancy, which promotes [[intellectual property rights]] filed the application on behalf of them.<ref name=mid-day /> The aim was to make the ''pagadi'' recognizable, preserve its identity and also that of the ''Puneri'' culture. Consequently, on 4 September 2009, the Geographical Indication status was given to the [[headgear]] and the ''pagadi'' became the official cultural identity of [[Pune]].<ref name=BS /><ref name="theindianexpress"/><ref name=ZeeNews>{{cite web|title=Puneri Pagadi gets GI tag; latest to join protected goods club|url=http://zeenews.india.com/news/etc/puneri-pagadi-gets-gi-tag-latest-to-join-protected-goods-club_565357.html|publisher=Zee News|date=21 September 2009|access-date=13 June 2012}}</ref><ref name=oneindia>{{cite web|title=Puneri Pagdi obtains geographical indication status|url=http://news.oneindia.in/2010/01/03/puneripagdi-obtains-geographical-indicationstatus.html|publisher=OneIndia News|date=3 January 2010|access-date=13 June 2012}}</ref><ref name=mid-day2>{{cite web|title=Puneri Pagadi gets pride of place|url=http://www.mid-day.com/news/2009/sep/220909-Puneri-Pagadi-Geographical-Indication-Pune2.htm|publisher=Mid Day|author=Chandran Iyer|date=22 September 2009|access-date=13 June 2012}}</ref> Thus, the ''pagadi'' got the Intellectual Property Right (IPR) and selling of any turban made outside Pune, under the name of ''Puneri pagadi'' became illegal. Along with the ''Puneri pagadi'', IPR has been previously issued to Indian products like [[Darjeeling tea]], [[Banarasi sari]]s, Tirupati ladoos, among others.<ref name=ZeeNews />
