Muzaffarpur: At present the wedding season is going on. From the bride and groom to the wedding procession, they are shopping for clothes etc. The splendor of wedding shopping is also being seen in the markets of Muzaffarpur. During the wedding season, various types of Paag or Sehra which adorn the groom’s head are also seen in the markets. It is this Sehra that makes the groom different from the wedding procession. In such a situation, Delhi’s ‘Paag’ is making a lot of noise in the market of Muzaffarpur. Especially the umbrella market is full of customers these days. As soon as Lagan has started, the beauty of this place has increased and the shops have many types of turbans and sherwani caps for the grooms. According to shopkeepers, this time people are doing more shopping than last year.
Vinod Kumar, a famous cap businessman of Umbrella Bazaar, who has been in this business for the last 30 years, says that this time a special change is being seen in the preferences of the customers. According to Vinod, this season grooms are most fond of caps matching Sherwani. Light colored caps and pugs like cream, off-white, pastel and light golden are in highest demand. Many grooms are also making customized pugs matching the design and color of their sherwani. Vinod tells that this time the most trending thing is ‘Paag’ which has come from Delhi.

As soon as the Delhi Pug comes to the shop, more than half of it is sold on the same day. The identity of Muzaffarpur’s Umbrella Market is no longer limited to just local customers. The pugs and caps prepared or ordered from here are sent to almost all the districts of North Bihar. Traders and customers from areas like Motihari, Raxaul, Sitamarhi and Sheohar visit here regularly. This number increases further during the days of Lagan.
Shopkeepers say that Rajasthani style pug, Maharaj pug and Kundan studded cap are also being sold in the market, but the highest demand is for Delhi pug and light colored royal cap. The increasing trend of photography and video shooting at weddings has also made grooms more conscious about the selection of their cap and pug.
