What is a kufi cap?

A kufi cap is a traditional skullcap worn by Muslim men around the world. It is also known as a taqiyah or topee. Kufi caps are made in various styles, colors, and materials, ranging from plain and simple cotton caps to more elaborate styles made from fine materials like silk and velvet, with embroidery, beadwork, and other decorative embellishments. In some cultures, kufi caps are worn as a religious obligation or as a symbol of identity and cultural pride. They are also commonly worn during religious observances, such as prayer, Hajj, or Eid celebrations. Kufi caps can be worn alone or under other headgear, such as a turban or fez.
