A Parna is a quick casual turban aside of Patka that you might tie if you are around the house or exercising. Its usually a small cloth of maximum 2-3 meters and is not just a color but a designed cloth.

Who wears it?

This is not Parna but Patka

Human wears it of course!!You must have heard about Patka, it is usually wear by Sikh childern, but when a person grows old, comes to adolocence stage or after adolocence, he starts ignoring Patka and shifts to Parna. In cities, town, villages we can see many people wearing parna.

Parna Tradition is followe basically to cover the head when a person is at house or visiting somewhere loaclly or exercising or other activities, as a Sikh prefer to cover his head instead of wandring naked. Even if some sikh have to go to some shop near to our house parna is preferred o cover his head.

It is mostly worn by farmers when going to fields or wandering around in the villages of Punjab. Parna waddae bande bande ne patka not prefferable.

Many amritdhari sikhs wear a keski under turban and bind parna over it. They prefers parna in Kesri colour and blue colour only but other people can wear parna of any colour.

Outside Punjab in many states Patka tradition is still their, Sikh people wear small patkas but now they are shifting to better parnas and to turbans.

Parna is not appropriate choice for players, because patka stick with head and knot is tied properly in it but larh in parnas are gently placed and for general purposes it is OK. Mostly Hockey playes Cricket Players prefer Patka than parna.

Parna is also preffered by people from other religions. In Punjab many Bhaiyas(Migrators from UP) started wearing parna.

Tying Style

Other Style of Parna

It's tying style is different for different people. Some people start tying it from the cetre of head and some people cover the head and then three rounds of clothes around the head and cover the head. Some people leave a "Larh" on the side.
