Do not wear make-up or jewellery. Do not commit adultery.

Rehatnama Bhai Daya Singh Jee

The above is Rehat given by the first Punj Pyare, whose head was cut off and was brought back to life with Khanda Bhatta da Amrit.

Knowing that a Punj Pyare has given this rehat, would Guru Sahib accept your outfit? This rehat is given to not be a giddar in lions clothing, but to root bhagati in your life and then watch it grow into something Guru Sahib loves.................Rehat is more dear to Guru Sahib than the Sikh

Thank you very much for this...

Guru Gobind Singh Ji used to dress like a King. He used to wear jewellery and lovely lovely clothes. Perhaps it is the way in which we wear these clothes and the thoughts and the reasons behind why we wear them which should be altered? What I mean by this, is have pride in how you look, present yourself like a King, but not for the wrong reasons. What do you think?

The red lehnga- red is considered an auspicious colour in hinduism. The chura is another hingu ritual...the bride wears it for 40days and only then can she remove it... Its just pointless shingaar like the necklace and makeup.

Yes, this is true... when I think of things like this, as a Sikh, I wouldn't wear chura or kaleerai for the reason Hindus did. If you wanted to do it for your own khushi without any superstitions, just for yourself, I don't see it as bad.

It's like if you go out with flashy clothes just so you can attract boys etc is wrong, but if you were to go out wearing the same clothes just for yourself without trying to impress people, I wouldn't see it as bad (obviously depending on what the clothes were)

Gurfateh penji

I would like to ask you a question (to Brunette OP)... why do you want to take amrit?

Forgive me if I am mistaken, but here it seems that you are trying to decide between amrit and a wedding outfit? It could be that depending on opinions from various people, you wear the outfit/ accessories/ do things slightly differently to follow tradition etc and you choose to take amrit later... now that is assuming that you will have an opportunity later. It could be that you take amrit and change the colour of your outfit.

Either way > Think carefully about what you truely want and once you know, your question will be answered.

A humble request to all posters, to allow penji time for self reflection. There are posts that have been made previously if penji whats to search on what is suitable entire for an amritdahri wedding (and penji above has made some suggestions) or better still search deep within, for her answer.

Gur Fateh,

It seems the way I wrote this sounded odd. I am 100% going to take Amrit as I see it as a very important part in a Sikh's life. I was wondering whether it was against the rehat to wear such clothes in these circumstances. Thank you for your post, it has made me reflect on what I was trying to say.

Gur Fateh!

I want to take amrit and wear a dastaar but want to try tying a dastaar first. Is there any video tutorials or something to help tie one? I want a small, round dastaar.

If someone could help, I would be very grateful. Thank you all.

Was just intrigued to know if it was okay to wear a full wedding outfit - such as red lehnga, chura, necklace, etc - after taking amrit/if wearing a dastaar?

Is there anything in the Rehat against it or does it not matter?

Wow this is really helpful... Thank you for sharing
