Kelaghayi (; ) or Hawri ()'''''' also known as "charghat" ( from Persian ), is a traditional Azerbaijani and Armenian 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.
==Etymology== Kelaghayi is found in various dialects of Azerbaijani, Turkish, and Armenian, known as kalagaz in Istanbul, kelāyağı or keleyağı in Kars, kəlağayı in Azerbaijan, and kalaghay in Armenian. Kelaghayi was borrowed from the Armenian term ''k'alałay'' (), meaning "silk kerchief" or "city-fashion women's head-covering". The Armenian term could possibly originate from Persian kalāx, meaning "gauze head-covering".
