Colour of the patka or dastar is of no relevence - its just superstition.

There was a rahit nama - fairly certain its Bhai Daya Singh's, that forbids wearing a suhi rang dastar. This is because red was the colour or jogis and qalandaris. However like most puratan rahits, I would not trust them as hukum, because people these days just quote the bits from them that fulfill their agenda - otherwise when you look closer they contain things that Sikhs these days do not agree with or follow.

Taksalis and Nihangs talk about Khlasa colours of black, blue, white and orange. Hence they wear these colours. I do not know why.

Dastar looks good matched to your tie or shirt. If wearing a pocket square, the minority colour in the square should match the dastar colour, otherwise it overdoes it. (Just my own fashion opinions btw).

in sikhi...only following colors are accepted Blue,Kesri, and White.

Black is not allowed becuase Black is considered as a color of sorrow or evil nature. Muslims wore this color (in remembrance and sorrow)when Ali,Hasan and Husain(Lineage of Prophet Mohammed) were martyred in Battle of Karbala by Yazids. Black is also considered as ignorant and Guru Ke sikh donot wear Ignorant colors on their heads and mind

What a silly topic. Of all the serious issues facing us and we're sat here discussing this of all matters? It doesn't even warrant an answer to be frank. But for the record, colour doesn't matter at all. This continual obsession with irrelevant and trivial matters will further alienate the youth.

Try to encourage the Sikhs to wear the turban in the first instance. I couldn't care less if it's green or pink.

In addition, if black is the colour of protest only, then currently 95% of UK Sikhs must be in a continual state of protest at the moment!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
