Kelaghayi (Azerbaijani: Kəlağayı; Armenian: Քալաղայ, romanized: Kalaghay), also known as "charghat" (çarğət from Persian چارقد), is a traditional Azerbaijani[1] and Armenian[2][3] women's headgear. It is a square-shaped silk head scarf with special prints on it. In November 2014 at the 9th session of UNESCO's traditional art and symbolism of Kelaghayi, its production and the wearing were included in the list of intangible cultural heritage UNESCO.[4]

It is the headscarf (kalaḡay, Pers. kalāḡī), made from specially woven silks, that is the most persistent of traditional garments, sometimes worn over a low (6 cm) flat topped skullcap (araqčın), almost covered with gold embroidery, or alternatively a small bonnet (täsäk).
