Hi, I was wondering if only women are suppose to wear pajami (leggings) with Bana(Chola)

First of all, why do you want to wear a bana (chola)? Where is it written that you should wear a chola? The answer is that it isn't written anywhere in Gurbani.

It's oral tradition. If you accept it, fine. If not, that's fine, too.

But if you accept it, then yes, the very same tradition says that women need to wear pajami.

Some people say men should only wear a kachera and not a pajama

Correct. Singhs are just supposed to wear a kachhera. If it's cold, they can wear leg-warmers (not leggings that go over your kachhera).

If you don't want to wear a chola, then wear a normal kurta-pajama. This is acceptable for a Singh. 

But don't do a mish-mash.

Why can't males wear pajama on top of a kachhera. 

Read what I wrote. I said "If you don't want to wear a chola, then wear a normal kurta-pajama. This is acceptable for a Singh. "

 

I think you want to ask why Singhs are not to wear pajama with bana. Simple: That's the uniform. If you don't like it, don't wear it. Wear a kurta-pajama. Wear a t-shirt and jeans.

thats the question. why is it so . who made it . SGPC do wear white pajamis over their chola . 

Bro, it's simply from the time of the first Sikh warriors. Guru Gobind Singh ji references the neela bana in Uggradanti. It is also referenced in Bhai Gurdas ji the 2nd. The specifics of the bana are oral tradition. Ask any Nihung Singh. 

The SGPC don't wear pamamis over a chola, they wear it under it, obviously.

The do that because that's part of their conscious rejection of the Nihang maryada. That's why they make their employees tie a samosa turban instead of the dumalla. In fact Giani Ram Singh (of Sangravan Taksal) resigned than to be forced to wear samosa pagg.

You're in Mumbai, so visit Hazur Sahib and ask the Nihungs.

So a Sikh male can't wear chola with pajama. 

But I heard in that case kachhera is very big like even reaching below knee

It’s personal preference. If a Singh wants to wear a pajama (loose-fitting) or pajaymi (tight fitting) trouser with chola it’s their choice. Sometimes Singhs might want that extra bit of modesty too by having their legs covered vs just kachera. 

Pajaymi does have some benefits actually. Types of seva where you want to keep high sucham like - sitting at maharajs tabiyaa. Whereas a pajama would have likely touched your shoes and floor by being ‘baggy’ a pajaymi probably wouldn’t.

    • 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.
