Another common Sikh turban style for men. Unlike the "double patti" turban, the turban is longer and goes 7 times around the head. If you use the "Notai" technique and have a big joora (hair knot), do not make it right in front at your forehead. You will end up tying the turban on the joora, and it will make your turban look very high and big.

This style is commonly referred to as "Patiala Shahi Pugg". Meaning the Royal turban of Patiala. This is because it were the Maharajas of Patiala (Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, his son Yadvindra Singh, etc) who made this style of turban known.
