| World Turban day competition organized | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 13: Guru Nanak Sewa Charitable Trust along with Guru Nanak International Kirtan Council celebrated the World Turban Day by organising a Grand Dastar Mukabla at Gurdwara Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Chand Nagar, Jammu in which a large number of devotees / volunteers participated beyond their age limit.
World -Jurban Day started since 2004 aims to propagate awareness about the importance of the turban for the Sikh community and the requirement to tie the turban as mandated for Sikhs by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
The turban or "pagri" often shortened to "pag" or "dastar" are different words in various dialect for the same article. All these words refer to the garment worn by both men and women to cover their heads. It is a headdress consisting of a long scarf-like single piece of cloth wound round the head. Although the keeping of unshorn hair was mandated by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji as one of the Five K's or five articles of faith, it has long been closely associated with Sikhism since the very beginning of Sikhi in 1469. Sikhism is the only religion in the world in which wearing a turban is mandatory for all adult males. Vast majority of people who wear turbans in the Western countries are Sikhs. The Sikh pagdi is also called dastaar, which is a more respectful word in Punjabi for the turban.
On the occasion, every participant was honoured with a Certificate and Medal.
In the event various Gatka Akharas Members from Jammu & Kashmir displayed and taught the art of tying Turban. |
