seriously cool dumalla. what material is it? how long is it? length and width?

[Laadli Fauj]

its F-chuhatr(74)

length 10 meter each i believe, about 13 larhs

width is half that of a thhaan

[saint-soldier]

whats a thhaan?

[Laadli Fauj]

a thhaan is the roll of kapra

usually when u go to the kapra shop, they'll ask u wht color and kapra and will show u the roll and take the length

so ask them to cut 10 yards or however much you want

when you get home, rip it in half length wise, and u'll have 2 10 meter dastars!

[wjkk wjkf]

Singhs in the Dal only use full length to tie their dumaala, they wont cut the material in half. I was once told off for this by Singhs who are well respected in the Dal.

[murakh]

singhstah, ur technically not supposed to knot it, because that creates a farla

and to my knowlegde, ur not a farladhari akali, so u wud have to cover the farla, which is major beadbi

until then, just coil it

((((([): D

and i heard if you have a farla when your not suppose to have 1 and if a akali nihang singh sees you, they make you carry a 2200kg chain over ur shoulders for a punishment.(heaerd it from some singh from taksal)

I think I saw you performing gatka at Holla Mahola at the Riverside Gurdwara, I participated as well. Was on the Fresno team lol.

Nice damalla man, I just recently went to Punjab and didn't know how long the material was supposed to be so I got two that are around 2 meters each .
