Detailed explanation-1: -Among the Sikhs, the dastār is an article of faith that represents equality, honour, self-respect, courage, spirituality, and piety. The Khalsa Sikh men and women, who keep the Five Ks, wear the turban to cover their long, uncut hair (kesh). The Sikhs regard the dastār as an important part of the unique Sikh identity.
Detailed explanation-2: -What are the Sikh Articles of Faith? Initiated Sikhs are required to carry/maintain at all times: kesh (unshorn hair covered by a turban), kara (steel bracelet), kanga (small wooden comb), kacchera (undershorts), and a kirpan (resembles a knife/sword).
Detailed explanation-3: -By not cutting it, Sikhs honour God’s gift of hair. Kesh combined with the combing of hair using a kangha shows respect for God and all of his gifts.
