Kacherra

[sigher]

VJKK VJKF!

I was wondering if there is anything diiferent about the long kacheerey down to the knees compared to the short ones every1 wears today? Is there a diifeent cutting style/pattern or is it just the length?

the shape is a bit different--tighter at the bottom

[muurakh (forgive me...)]

what do you mean the short ones 'everyone' wears today

most people i know wear the long ones, especially when you have to do path, and playing gatka

Just as the Hazooriya can only be white, kirpan and Karra can only be of Sarbloh, Kangha can only be of wood, same way kachherra can only be white. Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh in his autobiography has explained it very well. In those days all Singhs used to approve of only White Kachherra.

The Kacherra was given in order to control lust. It should be white because white is very difficult to keep clean, necessitating vigorous self discipline. Guru Ji wants his sikhs to be extra vigilant and in everything else too such as wasking kesh, body everyday, combing kesh daily, tying the keski twice daily. Guru Ji wants discipline in a sikh. It was one of the three pillars of sikhi; naam, daan and ishnaan.
