Bana: A royal warrior uniform
Bana is the clothing that identifies us. All military personnel, from field officers to the highest command wear bana. It is a ‘unified form’. The Bana given to us by Guru Gobind Singh identifies us in our spiritual and temporal form as unified beings – divinely unique and gracefully powerful.
Bana Includes:
- Kurta – a lose fitting tunic
- Churidas – pants that are loose fitting around the thighs and buttocks, and tight around the ankles
- Cumberbund – a cloth wrapped around the mid torso region to maintain mild pressure on the solar plexus and internal organs
- Turban – a cotton cloth wrapped around ‘kesh’ or long, uncut hair
