Both statements are correct. Historical sources indicate that the Mughal Emperor Humayun, known for his eclectic interests including astrology and organizing his courtly life, introduced a specific form of headgear called ‘Taj-i-izzat’ (crown of honour). This headgear was indeed composed of a cap (kulah) around which a piece of cloth (dastar) was wrapped. This was part of his efforts to structure and symbolize the hierarchy and dignity of his court.
Humayun was known for introducing specific courtly practices and attire.
‘Taj-i-izzat’ was a type of headgear introduced by Humayun.
It consisted of a cap and a wrapping cloth.
Humayun’s reign was marked by significant challenges, including exile, but he was also a patron of arts and culture, and interested in various sciences and rituals. The introduction of specific attire like the ‘Taj-i-izzat’ was part of his attempts to create a distinct identity and order within his court.
