  1. Hi it would be a great help if I could get some response in regards to these questions. I'm writing my Dissertation paper on the turban. 1. what does the turban represent for you personally? 2. How does the pagh determine your personality? (if it doesn't why?) 3. How does it construct your physical appearance? (by wearing a pagh how do you perceive yourself and how do others look at you) 4. whats the style of your pagh? (the way its tied, the style, the colour significance) and why? 5. Is it a cultural and or religious purpose and why? 6. Is there any gender distinctions(differences) in wearing and tieing a pagh? (For example through my observations I noted most men wear a pagh [not necessarily religious] whereas women only wear it for religious reasons, and they mostly cover the pagh with a chunni where as men do not.) What is your take on this difference? All responses and opinions are non judgemental. I would like genuine opinions rather than a definition or generalisations. So feel free to be expressive! :D
  2. Hello, I was hoping to gain some insight into a stamp marks that can be found on throwing chakrams. Below is a chakram stamped 3 times with a three prong stamp. I was told that the symbol was the "Sikh tree symbol" by a non Sikh. I am unfamiliar with the "Sikh tree" symbol. Was I told incorrectly? If I was, what does it mean? Personally, I believe that it might be a Aad Chand, as this symbol was associated with the nihang which commonly used chakrams. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated for my research. I know tridents are associated with Hindus, but is there any association with Sikhs, especially between 1800-1900? It may also be possible that the stamp is just a decoration or of a auspicious nature. Thank you for any and all help with my research.
