Paag

The Paag is a headdress in the Mithila region of India and Nepal worn by Maithil people.

[4] A campaign to promote use of the paag was begun in 2016 by Mithilalok, a Mithila cultural pressure group set up in that year.

Called Paag Bachau Abhiyan (Save the Paag Campaign), Mithilalok was associated with a proposed symbolic wearing of the garment by some representatives in the Bihar Legislative Council in August 2016, and also with a move to have it recognised as an official head-dress of the state of Bihar.

[5] Darbhanga MP Gopal Jee Thakur had started and popularised the tradition of honouring people with Mithila Paag in the Indian Politics.

[6] Paags designed and developed by Mithilalok are of different shades, colours and shapes considering fitting and suitability.
