Difference Between Keski, Dumalla And Dastar

The keski is not a kakaar.Sri sarbloh Granth states that the kes is kakaar.I think that in sri dasam Granth it also tells that kesh is kakaar.

Could you provide me with any quotes or information on this? I know Guru Granth Sahib Ji doesn't mention the kakaars at all (since Guru Gobind Singh Ji's work was never included), but is there anywhere in Dasam Granth which actually references the kakaars?

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!!!!!

So there is a big difference between Dastar, Keski and Dumalla!!!!!!!!!!

Keski is a kind of small kapra>> like kind of small dastar that u wear under ur actual dastar>>u can wear dastar without it but ur dastar will not come out better without it cuz it gives ur dastar a kind of shape before u start doing it?????? :smile2:

And Dastar is a turban that all singhs and singhnians wear!!!!!!! It is not either big or small^^^^^ It is medium > and it depends on ur face******* There r three different stiles 4 dastar !!!!!( Gol Dastar,Nok Vali Dastar and Chand Dastar)!!!!!!!! u can do either one u like!!!!!!!! :waheguru:

Finally, Dumalla!!!!! Dumalla is kind of dastar but there is a lot of difference betweenit>>>> cuz Dumalla is HUGE> It doesn't always have to be HUGE but the most important thing of dumalla is that it has so many stripes in it and they r so nice and clear!!!!!!! Not just from the front::: also the stripes in the back 2 >> as clear as in the front!!!!!>>>>>> THAT's THE HARD PART???????? U need around 10 meters long Kapra to tie Dumalla!!!!!!! and dastar is usally 4 to 5 meters long^^^^^ u can use more than that < IF U WANT>.

Waheguru ji k Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!!!!!

Satnam Waheguru.........!!!!!

Guest Dumalla

Dumalla is the sturdiest dastar generally speaking. Really depends on how you tie it. And the most important thing about Dumalla is not how perfect it looks with all the stripes lined up. The most important part is how the lars are done to make the Dumalla sturdy. Having a big enough bunga that will shield stikes with or without weapons. Having it long enough so it becomes a cushion around the sides of your head and is not tied around your head only for show.

A gol dastar can also be made sturdy by adding the bunga and keski, but not as sturdy as a Dumalla.

What is the best cloth recommend for patiala shahi?

Best kapra is full voile, but not too light bercause the larhs won't come out really nice. It takes at least 5-10 times of tying and washing to get the dastar kapra to it's 'final' phase and it will get easier to manage the kapra when tying.

There are a lot of different kinds of full voile so make sure you take someone with you to get a kapra that is more on the light side, but not too light/sift or it will be impossible to tie.

Another strategy is to tie your keski and connect it with your dastar, like before you finish your keski, put your outer dastaar larr in. It is an old Nihang technique which gives more stability.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
