Guru Gobind Singh Ji'S Attire

This will probably seem like an extremely random thread, but I'm curious.

In photos (which I know, don't necessarily show the Guru Sahibs accurately) Guru Gobind Singh Ji is almost always wearing a small kind of dastar, like this:

Not that it really matters, but is there any evidence to suggest his dastar was like this? Some people tell me he wore a big dhumalla, but that's not really evident from the way people portray him.

Did he wear red/ pink like so many pictures show? Did he wear necklaces? Or did he wear a blue bana? Where did the tradition of the bana come from if Guru Gobind Singh didn't wear one?

It doesnot Matter what color did Maharaji wore, It was a RAJYOG pehra. and in this yog, Maharaji wore expensive clothes and rich colorful attire and also made his Sikhs wear the same. That is why Mughals and Pahari Raje were envied and jealous of Why Guru Gobind singh ji is wearing expensive clothing,Keeping Prasadi Haathi , keeping expensive horses and Shashters(which even Pahari Raje didbot have with them)and so much.

Here are some photo's of the Gaj-Gah of Guru Gobind Singh Jee that is preserved at Takht Sri Hazoor Sahib, it's quite big. So assuming that Guru Sahib would have worn it in a matter that it would have been secure on his dastaar, his dastaar would have been pretty big. I've included a pic of a Nihang Singh with a similiar size Gaj-Gah for a reference.

Also here's some pics of the Kalgi and pearl necklace of Guru Gobind Singh Jee's that's also preserved at Hazoor Sahib. And a pic of the dastaar of Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee's, which is 24 yards/20 metres/60 feet. So one can just assume that the dastaars worn by the Guru Sahib's must have been bigger/longer than is usually portrayed in paintings.

As well there is an account in a Mughal record of the time describing Guru Gobind Singh Jee with an 18" tall dastaar, dressed in regal attire.

Oh ok, I didn't know this... looks like something I'm gonna have to do research into.

Wow, thanks! Brilliant response... and it's very interesting that Guru Gobind Singh Ji probably looked v different to how he's portrayed! Guru Hargobind Singh Ji's dastar was 20 meteres? Wow!! Amazing.

Can anyone answer this:

Did he wear a bana? Where did the tradition of the bana come from if Guru Gobind Singh didn't wear one?

I remember one amritdhari sikh from Sri Ganganagar who was wearing rings in all his finfer and gold Karas and Chains,bracelet and beautiful dastar. He was traveling to foreign country from Shri Guru Ramdas Airport in Amritsar.

The passport control officer at the airport(also a Amritdhari Sikh) told him,"As per Rehitnama, you are not suppose to wear all this; Donot you know this is prohibted". This sikh replied saying,"Listen my brother, My father is very rich(pointing to Guru Gobind singh ji 's Potrait), I want to show to the world his sons are also very rich. When guru gobind singh ji used to ride on Neela with beautiful attire and shashters same time we would tell his Gursikhs to wear the same beautiful attire and go for fight or shikar.Have you seen anywhere where Satguru is very good clothes and telling his sikhs not to do the same; BUT IMPORTANT POINT IS IS THE SIKH SHOWING OFF HIS EGO BY WEARING EXPENSIVE CLOTHES OR sIKH IS WEARING BEAUTIFUL ATTIRE AND REMAIN NIMANA FROM HIS HEART AT THE CHARAN OF SATGURU. MAIN THING IS HOYE NIMANA JAG RAHO,NANAK NADRI PAAR.

We have to remember that the pictures that are drawn by people are just pictures. They have no reflection on how each Guru Sahib looked. Nice as they are, we should not fall into the worship of them as have Hindus, Christians of their Deities.

Dhan Akal!

    • Uncle, realistically are you gonna challenge it in real life? I could fully jhatka and eat a steak wearing Bana bilkul tere samne but on God you could do nothing about that 😂
    • Flintstone Saab, can't you type in one message? Or must you drop the full Godfather trilogy with every response, minimum 3 responses? 1) They don't jhatka cows at Hazur Sahib because it's in a country called "India", in a state called "Maharashtra" - and beef is strictly illegal there 2) I said a quote from Adi/Dasam Granth saying "you can't eat beef" - "protection of cows" could be Maharaj talking about defending them for Hindus, same reason we do Aarti-Aarta. If u reference a quote, u gotta say the context of the verse. Otherwise there are verses in SGGS Ji which seemingly tell you to convert to Islam; of course that's not what Maharaj is saying but without context many quotes from Baani seem misleading 3) Why does 90% of your "evidence" come from living people, like "the head of Taruna Dal" or "Baba Pala Singh" - very rarely (like less than 10%) of it is from the Gurus' direct words. Do you realise that these people are humans with flaws/bias? Maharaj ended the line of human Gurus for a reason 4) Funnily enough, even Budha Dal's maryada in the Sundar gutka does not ban beef. If individual Akaalis taboo it, that doesn't mean it's the actual hukam lol 5) You mention Naamdharis guarding cows but they are also vegetarians who do not carry a kirpan and say Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not a Guru - using them as an example is funny 😂   6) Bro who uses "diapers" and "mate" in the same sentence? 😂 Man really tried sounding like Andrew Tate with the British/American accent mix 7) So you're about 30 years old and still beefing strangers online? Brooooo where's your MOTHER, did Aunty Ji never shout you away from ur keyboard? "Oy Flentstone puttar, thalle aa hun, roti ban gyi!!!!" 8 ) Wait since you're some Uncle, how do you balance work life with ur keyboard warrior shift? Or do u just sit vailah at home, like unemployed? SERIOUS QUESTION: Is your account rank on this forum the only thing on your CV ?😂😂😂  9) Can you imagine Maharaj condoning you calling me names like "mughal"? You keep reading about these "heads of Taruna Dal" but you need to google "Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings on kindness and anger" instead - you're basically trying to solve degree level maths equations when you can't even understand "1 + 1 = 2"  (prediction - I bet he's gonna respond debating one little detail of this post like my joke about accents, but fully miss the bigger picture, or get upset again. He also will likely reference another "sant" or author, or pull a random quote completely out of context😂)

    • Shame if our past these modern days jatts sgpc lost are . One question I have is...where were the Nihangs and the anti jar Seva when anandgarh was town down and kshgarh remade to what it is now....mughals couldn't even destroy the qila. Yet we did at multiple places with our own hands..shame on sangat flr not stopping precious ones and lakh lanat to the destructors of Sikh puratan asthaans all these kar Seva babeh of the past 
    • Reason behind it is.  You can't get mass sangat in to fill the golak up.... that's why they are all the same in design etc .probs some mafia rAcket related to the mass marbeling of gurughars. Such a shame. Hardly any pictures of the original anandgar qila..only one in the toor collection
