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

For muslims and some other cultures it might be considered sorrow and evil, but we are sikhs.

Sikhs are NOT supposed to follow cultural superstitions like asking the pandit what date to set your marriage, or light diva's for so many days after someone has died...etc...-ALL CRAP according to sikh.

Does anyone on here honestly think that If Guru Nanakji saw you wearing a black turban, he would say take it off, you shouldn't wear that.!!!!

RUBBISH- just like hindus claim that a certain day is more auspicious than another.

ALL the colours are visible to us and given equally by the creator. There would be no black animals or things in nature if black was so bad.!!!

Wear what the hell you want, wearing a turban is more important and not the colour or pattern.

Then why wear white kacheras.... You guys shud wear black kacheras

[luckysingh99]

You don't have to wear a white kachera.

Back in the day in India when everything was handwashed, people wore white because when it became soiled or dirty it was easily visible. This is the reason for white kacheras.
