Length Of Dumalla And Keski

for your keski:

take the circumference of your head, multiplied by the diameter (which obviously will be kind of tough to measure for ewll..obvious reasons...so estimate!)

take this number (in centimetres), multiply by PI(3.14159). take the natural log of this number. we'll call this number (A), for future reference.

then, take the number of calories you eat in a day (uslaly between 2000 and 4000), and divide by 1000. then multiply by the inverse of the number of glasses of milk you drink on average, in a day. (so if you drink 3 glasses of mlik, then multiply by 1/3)

take this number and multiply by (A)...

so for example, if your circumference of cranium is 35 centimetres, and the diameter is esetimated at 20, and you multiply these together and multiply that answer by PI, you should get

2199.113

the natural log of this number is:

7.69580938.

then let's say you consume 3000 calories per day, and you drink 6 glasses of milk in a day, then that's 3/6, or 0.5

multiply this by 7.69580938 = 3.84790469..

OR IN other words, your keski should be 3.85 metres!

now to the dumaalaa... first of all, you need to decide how high you want your dumalla to be.. if you want the bunga to be high, then estimate HOW high... let's say you want a bunga (from middle of forehead to top of bunga) of 30 centimetres.

you take your keski size, which in this example was 3. 85.

you then multiply by the Future Value Interest Factor of an Annuity at 10%, 3 periods (always use 10%, the number of periods is defined by required bunga height divided by 10..round up if required.)

so it's 3.85 times 3.31 = 12.7435.

you then need to take the square root of this number, because you'll have keski and dumalla, which is 2 turbans, so square root that number, and you get 3.56980392....for simplicity, we'll round up to 3.57.

okay.. now take 3.57, multiply by keski size, 3.85, and your dumalla size in metres is....

13.745 metres long!

i hope that answered your question, and best of luck!

Keski should be at least 2.5 metres long. Dastaar should be at least 5 metres.

Every Sikh should have atleast a keski at all times. This is why Kes can't be a kakaar...what would a naturally bald person do? Remain forever unable to be fully tyaar bar tyaar?? Even a bald person can keep a keski.

People have hair elsewhere too. kes is the kakar, and dastara is what u use to cover it and keep it tidy. it also symbolizes royalty.

    • Anyone linking the "kenyan" style turban to Ramgarhia caste is stupid lol. It came from the Jat-only Sikh Regiment in British India (folded, starched single dastar without a pinch). It's called "kenyan style" as Kenya is where it's most popular today and has a lot of Tarkhan living there but it's originally from Jatts in India. Dastar actually opposes caste as a concept anyway so it really doesn't matter.
    • you can use nrimb.com this matrimonial site is very helpful to find Sikhs and other matches for marriage in Canada.
    • Is there a need to insult someone's Dastar style? Feel some shame When you see a Sikh wearing a Dastar you should smile and think "that's my brother" ,not laugh at how he chose to tie his Pagh. Maharaj made a brotherhood in the Khalsa not a fashion contest.
    • Respectfully, this isn't a good idea bro. This is a Sikh forum so it's best not to be distracted with other topics. Most people who visit this site don't have accounts and have questions about Sikhi so we do seva here by educating the Jaante as well. Maybe create a subreddit on Reddit for "casual Sikhs" over there. It would be better as you could link that with r/sikh. And also there are like 4 people still on this site so you won't get much response. It's really inactive here most people use reddit now
    • Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM. The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh
