Explanation
Emperor Humayun, the second Mughal ruler, is credited with the invention of a unique headgear known as the Taj-i-izzat (Crown of Glory) in 1532 [2]. This headgear was a distinctive imperial adornment designed to serve as a primary emblem of kingship and power. Structurally, the Taj-i-izzat was composed of a central conical cap (resembling a Central Asian Qalpak) and a wrapping cloth. The cloth was often made of fine silk or velvet and wrapped in a specific manner to form shapes resembling the Arabic figure for seven. Humayun also introduced a system where the color of the headgear's fabric was determined by the planet governing each day of the week. While it was a symbol of royal status, Humayun also granted variants of the Taj-i-izzat to his close courtiers to foster a sense of courtly unity.
