What does Bunga mean?

& what does Bunge mean?

[Dukh Nivaran]

Bunga litteraly means 'tower'. If you have a secure bunga, and you are cut in the head, it won't hurt, so it's pracitical. It also makes the Dumalla look better

bunga litereally means fortress.

first the keski is tied into the kes, then the dumalla on top.

the bunga is a really large dastaar. the one in my personal pic is a bunga.

this was worn as to represent a fortress. it is one of the most sturdies things in the world. during battle the bunga was very practical as it could harbour many different shastar in case you dropped yours, you could just pull another one out. and also for carrying chakars.

secondly a bunga is worn during occasions as holla-mahaala. where nihangs compete in different competitions. my favourite being where nihangs compete to see who has the biggest dastaar bunga. and whose looks the best :D

and finally, when the british had taken control over punjab, they disallowed the wearing of bunge, as the nihangs would hide shastar int hem. so the nihangs would purposely wear a bunga just as a slap in the face of the british saying, what u gonna do about this now whitey??? :D
