The South Asian bun: a coiled knot at the back or top of the head, often wreathed in flowers.

Jooda, or juda, is the common Hindi and Punjabi word for a bun of hair. The bun has many regional forms and names: the ambada of Maharashtra, the khopa of Bengal and the kondai of Tamil Nadu, often wreathed in a jasmine gajra. Among Sikhs the joora is the knot on top of the head that holds uncut hair, or kesh, under the turban, often held with a small wooden comb, the kangha. Brides across the region wear an ornamented jooda.
