During the COVID-19 pandemic, when the Health Ministry and other experts were urging citizens to wear homemade masks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi set an example by wrapping a red-and-white Manipuri gamchha around his mouth and nose. The “Modi gamchha mask”, as it came to be known, soon became viral on social media.
