Why don't Sikh brides cover their heads?

Recommended Posts

So why don't Sikh brides cover their heads? they normally have their buns covered but not their heads. whats the reason behind this? if i walked into gurdwara with my patka slipping and hanging of my bun i would probably get death stares, People would probably feel like tossing me out of the window.  But why do Sikh brides get away with it?   a few years back during the summer i wore a cap to the gurdwara, i soon had 5 singhs standing behind me not looking very amused. i was told to take it off and wear a ramal.      why the double F,ing standards?     

heres a quick google search., Why were none of these women dragged out or told to cover their heads before guru granth sahib ji ?     you can hardly call any of the below a head covering.   

The double standards are really starting to annoy me

Fashion is more important that the Anand Vivaah itself.

They are paying for a service which earns the Gurdwara lots of money. Customer is always right attitude. Gurdwaras allow people to bend a lot of rules for weddings. They don't want to harm their most lucrative income stream.

In that last picture she is doing pardah, no?

seems to be a new trend just having a cheeky dig ... mind you back in the seventies I attended weddings where the ladies had their chunnis pulled about to that length and then it was a double chunni as in the old trads , one chunni from saure one from nanake. (I had both on my day but no koond)
I cannot understand why sikh women want to wear mughal style double tikka and side dangly thing (I know nothing) like some Meena Kumari film extra ... or Rajput choker upon chokr huge nath etc  do they not realise this is the libaas of enslaved women ...whose value is only in their sex?

Interesting, I never knew that...I suppose thats not bad, it's quite sentimental.

My mum had full-on chund when she got married.

I heard one ladies lehenga was the size of a parachute and she couldn't bend down lol.

my Masi's girl was pretty simple tastes like myself but when her folks saw that suit she picked the night before they took her out to get heaviest lengha possible , we are talking five foot 4  barely 100 pounds girls carrying 30 pounds of material . Her bros literally had to help her move around to do lavan and her masian bhabi help her stand and sit .... madness

    • 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.
