Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh..

I have just started tying a punjabi turban(Patiala shahi) and one of my cousins told me that sikhs are Specifically meant to wear a dumalla. He said that any other turban except a dumalla is made by the british apparently. So i have a question in sikhi is it compulsory to just wear a dumalla or is it fine wearing any other turban?

Dumalla has a meaning - it’s the turban sikhs wore to battle. It was the best option at that time staying really secure and protecting your head. Sikhi is about living with the times. And sikhs are about values, whats the point of walking around in a dumalla if your not willing to help others, do seva for. Not about physical appearance only

Now a pagh is adequate moreover patiala sahahi is beautiful style of pagh started by maharajah bupinder singh patiala. Tie it with pride! ??

The british made the the pagh which has the /\ shape at the front. Some of the first "sikhs" to wear that pagh were British puppets like "maharaja" bhupinder singh of patiala and maharaja duleep singh. Even the singhs who fought in ww1 and ww2 were given paghs with the /\ shape at the front to wear by the british.  But times have changed now, that was a long time ago      i guess its ok to wear it now ...

Here is a photo of maharaja bhupinder singh of patiala, its from him and his family that the patiala shahi pagh started. But he was a sellout and worshiped the goreh ...

Gurus tied Mughal Turbans. Since the 1700s to 1850s Sikhs tied what's now the Namdhari style. During Sikh Empire era, Sikhs started covering the normal Namdhari style with the /\ turban, using the other one as the fifty. Rest is pretty obvious

    • 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.
