To be held under the aegis of the Campus Diversity programme at the Residency Bungalow, Chavla, the proud owner of safas -- some as old as 200 years -- said that all the head-gears which he had been working from the past 10 years would be displayed on the occasion.

Explaining how he had developed an interest for making safas and pagdis, Chavla said that in a time when people were forgetting how their rulers dressed up, he felt that it was duty to inform them.

According to Chavla, school children learnt from their history books how the rulers looked like and dressed up. ``And it is through these safas that the children will get an idea of how important the safa was to them''.

Chavla, who has also done a research on the subject, said that there were about 300 varieties of safas prevalent in the State. ``While the biggest pagdis were worn by the people of Rajasthan, people who believed in wearing traditional pagdis were from Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra,'' said Chavla.

He, however, added that it was difficult for him to continue with his tradition of making safas without any financial help. Though he did not expect much suport, he claimed that it would be helpful if people provided him with material for making safas.

He added that the unique display was also to make people aware of such a talent.
