Facts To Understand Abut Yellow Turbans

By Cathy Mercer


Yellow turbans are headgears based on cloth winding. They are known by different names such as pagg, dastar, dulbands, and pagri. These names differ from one place to another. These headgears are commonly associated with Sikhism, where pagri wearing is compulsory for every baptized male member. They are worn by people of both genders with some observable differences in their styles and makes. Patka or rumal are mostly worn by young people.

Besides denoting various meanings, turbans are a sign for various things including piety, courage, honor self-respect, responsibility amongst other meanings. The eldest sons take the responsibilities of their deceased fathers by tying turbans in front of large congregations in pagri tying ceremonies. After such ceremonies, the sons are then recognized fully as the heads of their respective families.

Khalsa warriors wear saffron colored dastars, which a sign for sacrifice, courage, and martyrdom. They paggs are also for covering their long uncut hair. Soldiers wearing saffron colored dulbands are known in most cases to die as martyrs as noted in some documentaries. There is a belief among some dastar wearers that by putting on a pagri one will be able to control certain yogic chakra.

Dastars function as distinct identities for followers of some units or groups. In such instances, a group member can easily make out who belongs to their group and who does not by looking at their pagris. Paggs signify full loyalty to that particular society, unit, organization, or group and they signify that the person is ready for fearlessly protection of them. Amongst certain groups, tying a dastar is considered an outstanding deed.

In most parts of the globe, a pagri wearer is exempted from putting on a helmet while riding a motorbike. This is because one cannot put on a pagg and a helmet at the same time. Since a turban is not a safety wear there are cases when riders suffer basilar skull fracture in the event of a crash. For the safety of the rider it is advised that one unties then and puts on a helmet while riding.

It is remains unclear when to tie or untie a pagri. Certain religions insist that their members should always wear them whereas some allow members to wear them only while praying. There are circumstances when there is no bargaining on whether to untie them or not, such cases include when cleaning the hair or bathing. For health reasons sleeping with a tight pagg on is not recommended.

Turban wearing started long time ago and so did the delusions. It is a common misconception that pagg wearers are members of some terror groups. This has led to some injustices and crimes being committed against them worldwide. This reason and several others call for people to be educated about these head covers to do away with such deep-rooted misconceptions.

When in need for durable yellow turbans they can be obtained from many companies that do their transactions on the internet. The firms have blogs on with the items for sell are shown together with their price tags. Potential customers can contact them via their websites.
